Crystal Palace's Joe Ledley hails 'big three points' at Leicester City

Crystal Palace's Joe Ledley has described his side's 1-0 win against Leicester City in the Premier League as a "massive" result for the club.

The midfielder, who scored the only goal of the game to edge the Eagles towards mid-table security, believes that strong team spirit is behind the club's good recent form.

"It is massive to beat the teams around us. We knew it would be difficult, it's a big three points," BBC Sport quotes him as saying.

"Away from home we've been pretty good and we need to keep it going. There's a great team spirit in the camp."

The result leaves Palace in 13th place in the table, while Leicester are rooted to the bottom.
