Eagles still looking for first Premier League win of the season

Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner admitted his new-look side are still working their way up to "excellent" football after salvaging a 2-2 draw with Leicester.

Deadline-day signings Eddie Nketiah and Maxence Lacroix both made their Eagles debuts at Selhurst Park, where Jamie Vardy opened the scoring for the visitors in the 21st minute.

The Foxes were leading 2-0 thanks to Stephy Mavididi's strike less than a minute after the restart before Jean-Philippe Mateta scored a goal and a stoppage-time penalty to draw the sides level.

Glasner said: "We saw what we knew. It's not that we can say we play against Leicester and it's automatically three points.

"We can also see in the results, in this round in the Premier League you always have to play on your top level.

"It was OK. Many parts of the game are OK. It's a draw, so it's our job that we play better, that we are more consistent in defence, that we concede fewer goals, and then we will get the win and I will be really happy.

"We have to invest to create chances and score goals, and sometimes how easily we gave them their goals.

"That says there's a discrepancy, and this is what we all feel.

"But this comeback quality, this great impact from the subs, shows that we have a great group again and we will work hard to go from OK football to good football and then to excellent football."
