Riedewald intercepts a pass from Tielemans, but Milivojevic has to dive in to get hold of the loose ball and when he doesn't, Riedewald has another go, scything through Tielemans to earn a well-deserved yellow card.
16'
Leicester have won 16 points from losing positions this season, more than any team in the league apart from Man United, but they look a little shocked by what just befell them.
14'
Fair play to Palace, they're defending deep, but when the opportunity to attack arises, they're getting forward in numbers.

GOAL! Leicester City 0-1 Crystal Palace (Zaha) Leicester have been Leicestered! This is a lovely goal, Tielemans caught playing footsie on halfway by Kouyate's stern challenge, Eze picking up the loose ball and gliding goalwards before slipping Zaha in; he draws the keeper, opens his body and passes into the far corner. That's a lovely finish and his fourth goal in a row at the KP; Fofana, who we've been lauding, was the man playing him onside, though pass and run were perfectly timed.

Maddison spreads to Castagne, who takes a touch and crosses, Iheanacho missing with an overhead that might've been penalised had Vardy, who murders a shot just over the bar, scored.
10'
Zaha goes down the left and from nowhere, Fofana dashes alongside, getting his body in between man and ball to win a goalkick. More nifty de-fence.
9'
The game is beginning to settle, Leicester probing and Palace absorbing.
7'
On Fofana, one of my mates has a season-ticket at Leicester - I don't suppose that actually matters given he's only been with them during the pandemic - but anyway, he thinks he's going to be one of the best in the world.
6'
Ward looks for Benteke, but Fofana is right there, dashing in to head away. That's very good, proactive defending - he is a player.
5'
Vardy gets in behind again, Palacw saved this time by Guaita's alertness.
4'
Good from Leicester, Vardy making a diagonal run into space and Iheanacho sliding a ball to meet him; Ward does really well to head him off and win the goalkick.
3'
Wilfried Zaha looks to be playing centre-forward, but I'd not be surprised if he was split, looking to get around Fofana, Leicester's right centre-back.
2'
I've not seen loads of Palace this season so I'm really looking forward to watching Eberechi Eze, who's a beautiful mover.

This game was my first experience of that, which i supposed coloured things. The goals were great and I was 10.

There's something so beautiful about games at this time of year, which start in proper daylight. It's not as beautiful as games which start under lights, but it has something about it.
19:46
My console crashes, then returns for me to hear Roy Hodgson bemoaning the break his team had, which is unwelcome at this point in the season. He says Leicester are a team without weakness, so it's a tough challenge for his players tonight.
