Boss Brendan Rodgers praised Leicester’s desire after a crucial win over Crystal Palace kept their Champions League dream on track. Kelechi Iheanacho’s 17th goal of the season – his 14th in his last 14 games – earned a battling 2-1 win after the Eagles gave the hosts a scare. Wilfried Zaha put Palace in front before Timothy Castagne and Iheanacho struck to move Leicester seven points clear of fifth-placed West Ham in the Premier League. “We said at half-time about keeping calm and the goal early in the half was wonderful and that set the tone for us. “At half-time I thought we might go on to win,” said Palace boss Roy Hodgson, with the Eagles 13th.
