Peter Taylor

Peter TAYLOR was furious at the defensive blunders which cost Crystal Palace a win against Leicester.

Sloppy marking in the box allowed the Foxes to score from two corners and go 2-1 in front after STUART Green gave Palace a first half lead.

Luckily for the hosts, Clinton Morrison popped up in stoppage time to net a deserved share of the spoils.

But manager TAYLOR was unhappy with the players' performance, in particular the way they allowed Leicester to score both their goals.

"I don't think we played anywhere near as well as we did last Saturday at Southampton, or even as we did on Tuesday night when we played some nice football and created chances," said TAYLOR.

"It wasn't a particularly good performance on the ball, but the togetherness and spirit was excellent after we were hit with two corners, which was disappointing for us.

"I'm sure Martin Allen is delighted that they were well worked for Leicester but for us, they were poor goals because the same player got away from the same person twice."
