Comments:

League position: 16th Crystal Palace had now equalled their club record of six consecutive home league defeats (also in 1925 and 1998). [c/o Sky Sports Statto] The Eagles had now gone 13 Premier League games without a win (lost nine defeats). Palace remained as the only club in the top four divisions yet to win in the league in 2016.

Comments:

League position: 1st With seven games to play, Leicester City were now eight points clear at the top of the Premier League. After 31 games of the previous season, they were bottom of the table with only 25 points. This was the Foxes 13th Premier League victory by a single goal in this season. City had now kept nine clean sheets in their last 13 league games. They had now won 19 games in the top division in the same season for the first time since 1965-66. [c/o Infostrada] Daniel Amartey replaced Jamie Vardy in the first minute of added time in the second half.
