Crystal Palace 2-2 Leicester: Christian Benteke seals a point with late flying header as the Eagles stage comeback at Selhurst Park

They'll have to wait a tad longer before being mathematically safe but both these teams will be playing Premier League football next season.

In many way this clash mirrored Crystal Palace and Leicester’s respective seasons. An awful first half, a spectacular second.

Cruising at 2-0, Leicester looked certain to secure their sixth league win in seven under Craig Shakespeare.

But, under Sam Allardyce, Palace are made of sterner stuff these days; two goals in a blistering six minute spell clinched a valuable point.
