Crystal Palace player ratings as Michael Olise and Jeffrey Schlupp secure 2-2 draw

Vicente Guaita - 6

Couldn't really do anything about the two goals and other than wasn't actually tested too many times. Held on to a couple of shots from the edge of the box well.

Joel Ward - 6

Caught out a couple of times playing high up the pitch but was a reliable outlet when called upon.

Joachim Andersen - 5

An awful mistake that gifted Iheanacho the opener before he failed to intercept the ball to Vardy that put the visitors 2-0 up. Recovered in the second half when Palace dominated the game more.

Marc Guehi - 7

A better afternoon than his centre-back partner. Marshalled the defence well and is one of Palace's most physical presences both in the tackle and from set-pieces.

Tyrick Mitchell - 7

Still looked to get forward where possible and was rarely caught out going back towards his own goal.

Luka Milivojevic - 6

Did his job well and kept things going in midfield. Sometimes looks like him playing alongside James McArthur is too passive for Palace but both players always give their all.

Conor Gallagher - 6

A quieter game than usual for Gallagher who had less of an impact on proceedings. Sent a shot from just inside the Leicester box over the bar in the first half.

James McArthur - 7

Broke the lines well in the first half and set up Zaha with a shot inside the box. Kept things composed in the second half and broke apart play countless times to set Palace on their way up the pitch. Was fantastic in the final 20 minutes as Palace sniffed all three points.

Wilfried Zaha - 7

Made some good inroads but would have wanted to make a bigger impact on the game than he did. Still looked to beat his man whenever he could and tested Leicester's defence with some good work cutting onto his right foot.

Odsonne Edouard - 6

Had very little service to do anything within the opening 45 minutes. Finally got the ball to his feet in the second period and hit the crossbar then the outside netting in quick succession.

Jordan Ayew - 4

A poor first half from the Ghanian who found himself in a position to cross a number of times but couldn't find a Palace player in the box. Eventually hooked ten minutes into the second half.

Substitutes

Michael Olise (for Ayew 53') - 8

Written in the stars! Came on and immediately had an impact. Took his goal brilliantly well and

Jeffrey Schlupp (for Gallagher 70') - 8

An even quicker impact than Olise! Managed to head the ball past Schmeichel amongst a sea of bodies in the box.

Christian Benteke (for Edouard 86') - N/A
