Frustrated Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers rues Kelechi Iheanacho's missed penalty but hails his side's mentality to salvage a draw with Crystal Palace

Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers felt his side should have beaten Crystal Palace as the Foxes recovered from Kelechi Iheanacho's penalty miss and Wilfried Zaha's opener to earn a point at Selhurst Park on Monday.
