Crystal Palace 1-1 Leicester City: Harvey Barnes rescues point for visitors

Harvey Barnes cancelled out Wilfried Zaha's opener as in-form Leicester were held to a draw by Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

Barnes' low strike into the bottom corner salvaged a point for Brendan Rodgers' much-changed side, who climb to second in the Premier League table.

Kelechi Iheanacho spurned a golden opportunity to give the visitors a first-half lead when his penalty was saved by Vicente Guaita.

The Nigerian's miss looked like it might prove costly when Zaha finished superbly from Andros Townsend's cross, but Barnes' second goal in as many games rescued a point for the Foxes.
