30 min: Townsend brings down Maddison, 30 yards from goal on the left. Leicester load the box, but the delivery is poor and easily cleared. Tielemans tries to retrieve the ball, but is do-si-do’d out of play by van Aanholt. It’s an ersatz version of Ramos-Salah, and Tielemans ends up on his knees on the pitch border. No foul, for some reason.
28 min: Well, Palace have done very little so far, but they should have caused Leicester some serious trouble here. Batshuayi drives at the Leicester back line. He reaches the edge of the box, and has Zaha totally free to his left, but the attempted pass clanks into Evans and the hosts can clear. That’s an appalling effort, a great opportunity wasted, and you can understand Zaha’s theatrical frustration.
