Good game we were the better football team. I was surprised they put out a strong team and even more surprised we did not get stuck into them when they did. A very good deserved point after going down to two typical Leicester goals with lots of good performances.

Given the pundits claiming Leicester were going to be looking forward to the UCL and play a weakened side, this was an excellent point gained rather than 2 lost. I'm sure they were geed up by things like Merson calling this a dead cert for Palace. Coming back from two down and hold on for the point was not something we could count on earlier this season. Now we can go up to Anfield and not be under a whole lot of pressure. Maybe now the media blowhards will stop questioning the professionalism of the players before a match, but I doubt it.

Originally posted by alaneagle1 Correct Benalouane never jumped. He was trying to hold Benteke away from a ball that was not in his control, which itself is a foul. We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football.

Originally posted by Spiderman Surely he did what any good centre forward should do...go for the ball, perhaps the defender wasn't strong enough. My thoughts exactly. Benteke went for the ball and Benalouane just ducked out the way making it look like Benteke climbed on him. Besides even if he did "climb" on him, we were owed one after the ref gave Schmeichel a free kick after Wilf fairly won the ball off of him
