Crystal Palace won for just the second time in the Premier League this season, beating relegation rival Ipswich 1-0 to pull clear of the bottom three on Tuesday.
Marc Guehi - The Canadian PressIt was a fine first win for Ruud van Nistelrooy, and perhaps one final defeat for Julen Lopetegui.
He faces the tough task of keeping Leicester, one of the top candidates for relegation, in the top division. For that to happen, he’s likely to need goals from Jamie Vardy — and the 37-year-old former England international delivered immediately. “We are very happy with the new manager," El Khannouss said of Van Nistelrooy. “He arrived two days ago, and there’s a new dynamic in the group.”“The foundation for us going forward is everyone working their socks off, fighting for every inch and defending together,” he said. “We can look further then, and they did that in an unbelievable way.”
“We're very frustrated but in the same way I can say nothing about the players — they fight until the end,” Lopetegui said."It’s not easy to explain football some days.”
