Leicester City 0-2 Crystal Palace: Mateta and Guehi condemn hosts to sixth straight loss

Leicester City lost their sixth straight Premier League match by losing 2-0 to Crystal Palace at the King Power Stadium.

Two second-half goals did the damage for Palace, who rode some early pressure before pulling clear, with Jamie Vardy going close twice in the first few minutes.

Jean-Philippe Mateta was the more clinical of the two strikers, however, neatly rounding Jakub Stolarczyk and slotting Palace into the lead seven minutes after half-time.

Marc Guehi ensured the Eagles’ Premier League unbeaten streak was extended to four games with 12 minutes to play, volleying in after Boubakary Soumare had struck the bar at the other end.

The defeat leaves Leicester in 19th, two points from safety, while Palace leapfrog Manchester United into 14th.
