Crystal Palace 5-0 Leicester: Eagles Thrash Lacklustre Foxes & Effectively Secure Survival

Crystal Palace all but secured their Premier League survival with a comfortable win over a Leicester side who look like they are already on their holidays on Saturday.

Both sides named full strength line ups for the game and would have both been hoping to get three points to help finish the season strongly. Palace came into the game with the added incentive that their Premier League status could be confirmed with a win.

Leicester, meanwhile, have seen their form falter of late and this has led to suggestions that Claude Puel may be fighting for his managerial life at the King Power, with the board reportedly not pleased with finishing ninth after such a promising mid season.
