Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers was delighted with victory over Crystal Palace.
First-half goals from Ademola Lookman and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall – the latter's first in the Premier League – was enough for the Foxes, despite Wilfried Zaha halving the deficit in the second period. It now means City are unbeaten in their last seven matches on Filbert Way in all competitions.
"I thought we were excellent in the game," Rodgers told LCFC TV at full-time. "Crystal Palace are a really good side, but I thought we stopped them playing. The pressure was good, the intensity was good and then we showed some really good moments of quality. It was very, very pleasing.
"The Premier League is tight and it's very competitive. I thought we pressed the game well like I said. I thought we worked the ball into a really good areas, but once we crossed the half-way line, we were loose with our passing sometimes and then we gave it away.
"We then started to build our rhythm, make better decisions on the ball, and then obviously the first goal comes from really good pressure after winning it back. The second goal was a fantastic goal as well. I thought we had really good control of the game.
"They got the penalty and then, of course, the momentum can change for a little bit because they have a bit of energy. We handled that side of it really well. You're not going to have it all your own way in the Premier League over the course of the 90 minutes.
"In the moments we had to defend, we defended really well and I was really pleased."
