Crystal Palace 2-1 Leicester City: Big win for hosts on Roy Hodgson return but more 'pain' for Foxes

Roy Hodgson's return to the Selhurst Park dugout began in fine fashion as Crystal Palace moved further away from the relegation zone with a late victory over Leicester City.

For the Foxes, though, it was another afternoon of frustration.

Leicester were denied the opportunity to clamber out of the bottom three after Palace's last-minute winner and are now a point adrift of safety.

Palace were joined by Bournemouth, who beat Fulham, in the relegation-threatened teams who picked up vital wins this weekend.

Hodgson called his side's performance "fantastic", while counterpart Rodgers could only describe it as "painful".
