Managerless Crystal Palace toppled league leaders Leicester with a 2-1 away win.

The Eagles ended Leicester's unbeaten home record to go to fourth and just four points off the top of the table.

Palace, led by temporary manager Lennie Lawrence, went in front after 23 minutes. Kasper Schmeichel failed to collect a Mile Jedinak corner and Damian Delaney rifled home from 12 yards.

Five minutes later, they extended their advantage through Peter Ramage who headed Yonack Bolasie's cross past Schmeichel.

Julian Speroni, making his 250th appearance in the Palace goal, was unable to keep a clean sheet when Andy King headed a last minute consolation for the Foxes.

But the Eagles held out for victory to now go 10 games unbeaten.
