Crystal Palace vs Leicester City LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Crystal Palace 2-2 Leicester: The hosts rescued a draw in added time to leave both teams without a win this season
Jean-Philippe Mateta’s second-half stoppage-time penalty salvaged a point for Crystal Palace in a 2-2 draw with Leicester at Selhurst Park.
Jamie Vardy fired the Foxes into a 21st-minute lead and Stephy Mavididi made it two for the visitors less than a minute after the break.
Mateta pulled one back in a near instant reply, awarded following a VAR check in a contest that also saw deadline-day signing Eddie Nketiah handed his Palace debut.
The visitors looked to be on course to secure their first win of the season until Conor Coady sent Ismaila Sarr tumbling and the Frenchman made no mistake with the resulting spot kick.

There is a slight delay in play here as Doucoure, making his first start of the season, is down after a coming together with Leicester midfielder Skipp. The Palace player is back on his feet after receiving some medical attention and should be okay to continue.

Mavididi takes on Palace defender down the left-hand side and floats in an inviting cross into the box, but there is no Leicester player at the end of it and Henderson collects calmly.

It'll be absolutely crucial for Palace to find the opener here as the Eagles have conceded first in each of their three Premier League games so far this season – already one more than in their 13 such games under Glasner last season. Today’s hosts are also yet to win a league game under the Austrian tactician after going behind!
