Mateta’s dramatic penalty in added time denies Leicester victory at Palace
Jean-Philippe Mateta finished last season in prolific form and the striker salvaged a late draw for Crystal Palace with his two goals denying Leicester their first win back in the Premier League.
The evergreen 37-year-old striker Jamie Vardy added his second goal of the campaign for Leicester to provide encouragement for Steve Cooper that they can confound predictions of an immediate return to the Championship. Vardy and Stephy Mavididi pounced to take advantage of porous Palace defending before Mateta pulled one back almost immediately, after a VAR check ruled the striker was not offside.
