Crystal Palace 2-2 Leicester: The hosts rescued a draw in added time to leave both teams without a win this season
Jean-Philippe Mateta’s second-half stoppage-time penalty salvaged a point for Crystal Palace in a 2-2 draw with Leicester at Selhurst Park.
Jamie Vardy fired the Foxes into a 21st-minute lead and Stephy Mavididi made it two for the visitors less than a minute after the break.
Mateta pulled one back in a near instant reply, awarded following a VAR check in a contest that also saw deadline-day signing Eddie Nketiah handed his Palace debut.
The visitors looked to be on course to secure their first win of the season until Conor Coady sent Ismaila Sarr tumbling and the Frenchman made no mistake with the resulting spot kick.

CHANCE! Kamada's ball into the box makes its way to Nketiah who shoots on the turn and his low drive whistles across Leicester goal and past the post by inches! That was so close!
