Crystal Palace scored twice in just a five-minute span against Leicester City to beat them 2-0 in their Premier League clash on Saturday.

Palace striker Fraizer Campbell gave the host the lead in the 51st minute before Mile Jedinak doubled the lead four minutes later and Leicester couldn't find another miracle comeback this time.

Leicester came from two goals down to beat Manchester United 5-3 last weekend but was given a reality check at Selhurst Park, Sport24 reported.

It was a second win in six days for Neil Warnock's side after beating Everton in the previous round.

Palace went ahead when Scott Dann headed Jason Puncheon's deep corner toward goal, with Campbell scrambling it past Kasper Schemiechel from close range.

Jedinak then powered home a free kick from the left-hand side of the box to double the hosts' advantage, the report added.
