For a manager who relishes being in control, this was not exactly what Brendan Rodgers will have had in mind. Two goals from the Crystal Palace substitute Michael Olise and Jeffrey Schlupp – a member of Leicester’s Premier League title-winning squad in 2016 – earned a deserved point for Patrick Vieira’s side after a spirited second-half comeback that almost yielded all three.
Everything had looked so simple when Kelechi Iheanacho and Jamie Vardy helped to establish a 2-0 lead after 36 minutes despite Palace’s early superiority. Yet having so far struggled to recapture the form that took them to within a whisker of Champions League qualification in the past two seasons, the Leicester manager was rightly concerned with the way his side surrendered their lead so meekly here.
“At the moment we’re lacking that defensive stability,” Rodgers said. “We look vulnerable. That’s something we need to look at and address.”
