Champions Leicester City left striker Jamie Vardy on the bench but capped a fine week with a third home league win of the season, beating Crystal Palace 3-1.
Goals from Ahmed Musa, Shinji Okazaki and Christian Fuchs secured them three points.
After continuing their 100 per cent start in the Champions League, Leicester's disappointing domestic form came back under scrutiny and they responded emphatically.
Leicester had created little until three minutes before halftime when Musa lashed home an unstoppable shot from Islam Slimani's set-up to open his account for the club.
Claudio Ranieri's side doubled their lead when Okazaki fired home in the 63rd minute after Danny Drinkwater's cross was only half cleared and Austrian defender Fuchs iced the cake with a thunderous third from 25 metres.
Palace grabbed a late consolation through Yohan Cabaye.
