IT takes more than a few hotshot lawyers to keep a team as weak as Leicester in the Premier League.
The Foxes escaped a possible points deduction last summer even though the authorities were adamant they had broken spending rules. And they managed to go unpunished again - for now at least – when the League delivered their verdict this week on the club’s latest set of accounts.
Yet none of that matters if you cannot take chances or defend properly. Leicester missed their opportunities and second-half goals from Jean-Philippe Mateta and Marc Guehi made it six away games unbeaten for Crystal Palace.
