Oliver Glasner highlights where Crystal Palace need to improve after Leicester draw

Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner was pleased with his side’s reaction for coming back from two goals down to pick up a point in their 2-2 draw with Leicester on Saturday afternoon.

However, the Austrian coach says the Eagles need to iron out how many goals they concede in games.

The Foxes went ahead in the 21st minute when a ball over the top from Wilfred Ndidi, who was offered to the Eagles as a free transfer in the summer, found Jamie Vardy.

Veteran Vardy beat Marc Guehi and rounded Dean Henderson to open the scoring.

Leicester doubled their lead 23 seconds into the second half when Nathaniel Clyne misjudged a cross from James Justin, which saw the ball fall to Ndidi to set up Stephy Mavidid.

The ex-Charlton loanee slammed home the ball in front of goal to put Steve Cooper’s side 2-0 up.

Palace quickly pulled one back 86 seconds later when Jean-Philippe Mateta finished off Tyrick Mitchell’s cross into the box.

Ismaila Sarr won a penalty in added time after capitalising on a poor touch from Conor Coady to get ahead of the Leicester defender, who brought down the former Watford attacker.

Mateta stepped up and slotted the spot kick past Mads Hermansen to win Palace a point. 

The Eagles have picked up two points from their opening four Premier League fixtures.

“Compliments to the team for showing the comeback qualities today,” said Glasner.

“It was a very tough game mentally. Being 1-0 down, then, immediately after half-time, being 2-0 down. 

“Then coming back – it was a very good reaction. The red line through our games is that we concede goals too easily. 

“It’s what we have to improve. When you always concede two goals – and it’s in three of the four games that we have conceded two goals – it’s difficult to win a game, let alone win a Premier League game. 

“This is what we have to improve. We will work on it. We can create chances – we can be dominant.

“We have to reduce the goals against us.”
