Crystal Palace 5-0 Leicester: Roy Hodgson's men on the verge of survival after thrashing of Foxes

Crystal Palace are on the brink of Premier League safety after a spectacular 5-0 win at home to ten-man Leicester.

It's a remarkable achievement for the south London club who were tipped for relegation after losing their opening seven Premier League games without scoring a single goal.

Palace are now six points clear of the drop, where only Southampton can catch up with them.

The game also sees the pressure build on under fire Leicester boss Claude Puel.

But this was Palace's day and talisman Wilfried Zaha got the ball rolling for the Eagles, before he set up James McArthur in the first-half.
