Chapter 1: What highlights from the Crystal Palace vs Leicester match are discussed?
Bakary Sakho, and that is the way to crown it. A third goal which signals three points on the road for Crystal Palace.
Three goals and three points in Crystal Palace's first away win of this Premier League season, and it came at the King Power Stadium against a Leicester side who've been flying of late.
But Palace had more attempts, more of them were on target, more touches in the opposition box, and they covered more distance than Leicester, who were reduced to ten men when Ndidi was sent off for picking up his second yellow card. But by that stage, Palace were already 2-0 up through goals from Christian Benteke,
And Wilfred Zaha, they've finished celebrating for now and they're with Greg Whelan.
Christian, Wilf, very well done. Wilf, first away win of the season, what a way to get it.
Yeah, the team's buzzing. We played so well today. And we just took our chances, so I'm happy for the squad today.
Honestly. How much did you all need that?
Yeah, I think it's a great result this afternoon. We didn't give them anything.

Chapter 2: How did Crystal Palace secure their first away win of the season?
Maybe they had one chance, but I think we deserve those three points. Christian, that elusive first goal at last, your thoughts on getting it? Yeah, I've been really patient. I've been really patient, I've been through a hard time, but I'm a big believer and I really work hard and I just got what I deserve to get. You celebrated by putting your fingers in your ears.
What was that message you were sending out? That meant that I won't give up and I will just keep going.
Wilf, did we see today what you two up front can actually do, the big threat that you can cause teams?
Yeah, definitely. Obviously, teams just think because Christian wins headers most of the time. They don't realise that we can both play. And today just showed that we just got our chances and took them.
You certainly took your chance today. Was there something, perhaps a point to prove and something to owe for the rest of the teammates after last week against Bournemouth?
Yeah, I think Wilfred and myself worked really hard to close down the midfielder.

Chapter 3: What impact did Wilfred Zaha and Christian Benteke have on the game?
And today we got the chance as well to score. And we're really pleased with that.
But after the issue with missing the penalty last week, was this an opportunity to sort of say thank you to your teammates, if you like? You feel like perhaps you owed them one?
Not on something because we are a team, but I just wanted to show that I'm always involved and I will do everything to get back on my form. Well, terrific second goal. What a time to get it as well.
Yeah, obviously, it was the next person to get the next goal. It was the main thing. So we just carried on playing the way we were playing. And when I got the chance, I thought I have to at least hit the target and I'm buzzing to score.
You're temporarily out of the bottom three again. How good a chance as players do you now feel you've given yourselves to get out of trouble?
To be honest, I've always had confidence in the team. We're having a good run, so it was only a matter of time before we started putting the performances together and just getting up the table, really.

Chapter 4: What were the key factors contributing to Leicester's defeat?
Well, congratulations on a great away win. Wilf, you're the Premier League man of the match. Christian, would you mind doing the honours for us, please? Very well done, guys.
Thank you.
Well, Christian Benteke and Wilfred Zaha kind of keeping a lid on it there, but you can be more effusive, Clinton. What did you make of Palace's performance?
No, I thought it was a fantastic performance. Before the game, I think Palace would have came here and took a draw, the great run Leicester had been on, but I thought to a man they defended brilliantly and going forward in Wilfred Zaha and Benteke and Loftus-Cheek, who had a very good game, them three were the difference.
There were differences in terms of individual performances, but as a team, what did you make of their approach to this match against Leicester?
I thought it was great. It's strange to see them in this position. With a performance like that, they should never really be in this position. They were outstanding today. Like you said, they're front three, unstoppable.

Chapter 5: How did the red card for Wilfred Ndidi affect Leicester's performance?
And I don't think you'd see many defences really look forward to playing against them.
What about Leicester and the performance that they put in today? There were a few fans around us booing at the final whistle. Do you think that was fair reflection on their performance?
Look, the fans want entertainment. They want to see their team go out there and give it their all. And I don't think they really saw that until they had Ndidi sent off. And that's when they really had a go at it. And that's too late. That's too late. The fans pay their money. They feel that they need to be seen. At least players try.
Christian Benteke, his first goal in 14 games. He talked about the patience that he's had to show in order to get the goal, but how did it come about, Clinton?
Chapter 6: What insights are shared about the performances of McArthur and Kabay?
Look, it was good play here from Townsend. I thought he should have put it in before me and Ezra were talking, but Kabaye plays a good ball. He whips a good ball in here. And you can see here, Benteke is in between Wes Morgan and Simpson. You can see Wes pointing and saying, Simpson, you've got to work him. But Simpson's worried about Loftus-Cheek. And it's a good header. It's the luck he needs.
He's not into the corner. Maybe Kasper Schmeichel would be disappointed, thinking he could have done better. But he's in between the sticks, and that's what you've got to do as centre-forward. It's in between the sticks, and you'll score goals. And with Townsend putting in a good ball like that, it's a very good header.
Good header, but not a great header, Emil.
Not a great header, but he's got it on target.
Chapter 7: What does Roy Hodgson say about the team's improvement and future?
I think if he was in a rich vein of form, he'd have put that in the corner, but because he's very tentative now and he just made sure he's getting a good header on it, he headed it down. When you're heading it down like that, it's difficult for the goalkeeper to save.
Saw him miss a chance earlier in the game, but what difference did that goal make to his overall performance?
Oh, you see the confidence grow then. You see him running with the ball, bringing balls down, bouncing defences off himself, and that's when you see the confidence really pick up.
What do you think he contributed to the game today, Clinton?
I thought he was a handful. As I said, I think the first five minutes, he was getting brushed off the ball. There, he probably could do better with the flick like Vardy did here. As I said, he's in between the sticks, and that's where the centre-forwards will be. I don't want my centre-forwards out wide, and that's why I think he's been doing too much.
On another day, he nearly scored a good own goal there, but on another day, I think he could have got a hat-trick. He's had chances, but he held the ball up. He was the focal point, and Zaha and Loftus-Cheats played off him.
He's put his fingers in his ears to celebrate the goal.

Chapter 8: What are the upcoming challenges for Crystal Palace and Leicester City?
He said it's about just focusing on his own game because you have to drown out the negative voices. How difficult is that, Emile, when you're on a tough run as a goal scorer?
Oh, very difficult. It's more difficult nowadays because you've got so many platforms for fans and individuals to get to you personally. When we were playing, you didn't have all that. You can go to your house and shut off. Now you can't because with this social media and everything, it's there in your hand 24-7. So they've got to be very, very strong.
And he showed that today and kept focusing on, even with the missing of the penalty, a lot of strikers, if they're not in a rich frame of form, they will not take that. Even if they're the designated penalty taker, they will not take it. But it showed he's confident that he took it, but it wasn't a good penalty. But now he's come back, he's scored, and hopefully he can go step further.
And what's that feeling like in a game when you get the goal that you've been waiting for 14 games?
It's just a weight off his shoulders, and you can see it was a massive weight off his shoulders with the performance he's put in, bringing the ball in, playing out to his wingers, getting in the box, brushing defenders off. Things were sticking where things were bouncing off him before, and he just showed in his all-round performance today.
And we saw his contribution to the second goal, Clinton. But what about the finish from Zaha?
Yeah, well, this kid's got all the ability in the world. And he showed it again this afternoon. That's why he was manning the match. But here, I said it earlier, Mahrez shouldn't have been that deep. But the way Palace break, and Benteke, hey, he's strong. He holds off Ndidi. He says, you're not getting that ball off me. Plays an intelligent ball into Zaha. And as I said... at half-time.
Most people would have had a shot shake, but Zaha's in such confident mood, he does the step-over, says, see you later, to the defender, and puts it into the bottom corner, and it's a very good finish. But here you see, Benteke, it's the strength here, and the timing of the pass. It's not a bobbled pass, it's firm into Zaha, so he can take a good touch, and it's a very confident finish.
How much do you think this new, more central role suits Wilfred Zaha?
