Crystal Palace matchwinner Joe Ledley was delighted with victory at Leicester City.

The win moved Palace up on to 26 points.

"Three points is the main thing and it was the icing on the cake to get the winning goal," Ledley told the Croydon Advertiser.

"We defended brilliantly in the second half. In the first, we actually started well, which we haven't done for a long time.

"We had a few chances but after that we were hanging on, so credit to Leicester. They played some good football.

"We knew coming to Leicester that a point wasn't enough. If you want to survive you need to go to these places and other teams around you needing three points.

"In my head I knew we needed that. It wasn't the best of performances from us but we'll take the result all day."
