Palace took the points at Leicester on Tuesday courtesy of a late penalty despatched by Wayne Andrews.
Andrews kept his head to convert the spot kick in the 88th minute, to win a game of few clear-cut chances.
Notably, Nicola Ventola managed all 90 minutes of this match – possibly paving the way for a substitute appearance against Norwich on Saturday.
Palace XI: Speroni; Butterfield (Watanabe ‘46), Hudson, Wilson, Wiggins, Kolkka (Berry ‘64), Fray, Danze, R Hall; Ventola, Andrews
