Leicester City player ratings v Crystal Palace with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall influential in victory

A much-changed Leicester City side held on for three points after Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall inspired them to a 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace at the King Power Stadium.

With an eye on a second leg against PSV Eindhoven, Brendan Rodgers made seven changes to his side, but it was one of those that kept their place that made the difference as Dewsbury-Hall set up the opener for Ademola Lookman before striking his first Premier League goal.

Wilfried Zaha scored the rebound of a retaken penalty in the second half after Kasper Schmeichel had twice saved, with VAR ruling encroachment on the first. But there was no repeat of the game at Selhurst Park where City gave up a two-goal lead as they held on for three points.

They are now 11 points off West Ham in sixth but with three games in hand, and could yet mount an unlikely European charge. Here's how we scored the players.

How unlucky can you get. Amid the penalty drama he saved two spot-kicks and still ended up conceding. He made a fine low stop in the first half too. Over the past month, he’s generally had less to do, but is coming up with big saves when he needs to.

Zaha is one of the trickiest wingers he will face and for the most part, he dealt with him well. The Ivorian did get the run on him in behind once or twice, but when facing him up, Justin usually got a toe in. He provided support and endeavour in attack, but little end product.

This was the kind of display fans are used to from Amartey now. He’s calm on the ball, he’s strong in the 50-50s, and he gets across well to cover for his full-backs. He was beaten in the air by Andersen for one corner, but was otherwise very solid.

He continues to prove Rodgers’ hypothesis that competition is the best coach. Since
