Crystal Palace striker Michy Batshuayi won great praise for his goalscoring performance in victory over Leicester City.

The forward, on loan from Chelsea, opened the scoring before Jonny Evans' leveller for the Foxes but a Wilfried Zaha double and Luka Milivojevic penalty secured all three points.

Batshuayi deflected James McArthur's shot past Kasper Schmeichel just before half-time, and Michael Owen highlighted his instinctive effort as evidence of his natural goalscoring ability.

Owen told BT Sport: "You know as a centre-forward when the ball's virtually on target or going off target. In this case it was definitely off target.

"You just throw a leg at it. There's no way you aim for a certain corner, you just try to guide it towards goal. It's actually a very good finish."

Hartson added: "He's clearly got genuine quality, look at the clubs he's been with.

"He can be proud of his afternoon's work."
