A Draw That Felt Like Defeat To Leicester And Brendan Rodgers

The stadium was buzzing with nervous energy, which was understandable given that the Leicester had lost seven of their previous nine league games, what a shame!

Crystal Palace held Leicester City to a frustrating goalless draw at King Power Stadium, putting pressure on manager Brendan Rodgers.

They had their moments but struggled to find momentum, remaining in the bottom three, with a 4-0 win over bottom club Nottingham Forest two weeks ago appearing to be a false dawn.

It felt like a day when the first goal would be crucial, and Leicester’s nerves were visible right away as Palace applied early pressure.

But the home side came alive when Harvey Barnes and Patson Daka combined to break down the Palace defense, forcing Vicente Guaita into a smart save.

As the first half progressed, Palace lacked attacking zip, but showed a spark through Eberechi Eze, who flashed a shot over from the edge of the box with the break approaching.

James Maddison saw more of the ball in the second half, but he missed the target twice before the hour, shooting over from close range and then wide after driving forward.
