Leicester 1-4 Palace: Zaha nets brace as Evans goes from hero to zero

  /  autty

Crystal Palace picked up a huge three points on the road at Leicester, with Michy Batshuayi getting off the mark for his new club.

The deadlock was broken just before half-time, with January signing Batshuayi landing an outstretched leg on James McArthur's long-range shot to send it past Kasper Schmeichel.

Jonny Evans grabbed an equaliser for the home side just after the hour mark, sliding in to strike home as Leicester kept the ball alive from a corner kick.

But the Eagles couldn't be pinned down for long, and were soon back in front courtesy of a solid volleyed effort from Wilfried Zaha. Palace then bagged a third courtesy of Luka Milivojević from the penalty spot, following a rash Evans' challenge on Jeffrey Schlupp.
