Leicester City’s poor start to the Premier League season was prolonged with a tough goalless draw at home to Crystal Palace on Saturday, although the point they won moves them off the bottom of the table for now.
James Maddison had the two best chances at the King Power Stadium but missed on both occasions, while Palace took over an hour to finish in a clash between two lacking confidence sides.
It was the second clean sheet in 10 league games this season for Leicester, who were greeted with jeers from the home crowd at the final whistle, while it was the second straight goalless draw away from home for Palace, who has not played. earned on their trips through the Premier League since April.
