Crystal Palace 1 - 0 Leicester City

Crystal Palace battled to a 1-0 win against Leicester City at a soggy Selhurst Park, as Roy Hodgson‘s side did the business without their star man Wilfried Zaha.

Luka Milivojevic’s fine strike in the first half was enough to grab all three points for Palace, but Jamie Vardy hit the post in the second half as Leicester battered the Eagles but somehow they couldn’t find an equaliser.

With the win Palace move up to 15th place on 15 points for the season, while Leicester have 22 points and sit in 11th.

Huddersfield Town 0 - 1 Newcastle United

Salomon Rondon scored the lone goal as Newcastle United won its first match in four tries with a 1-0 defeat of Huddersfield Town at the John Smith’s Stadium.

It’s Rondon’s fourth goal in six games, as Rafa Benitez‘s Magpies move 14th. That’s six points ahead of 18th place, occupied by Huddersfield.
