Crystal Palace's 1-0 defeat to Leicester on Saturday afternoon saw Alan Pardew's side slip ever closer to a relegation battle.

The Eagles have not won a Premier League game since mid-December and are now just eight points above the bottom three.

But Palace's plight wasn't enough to stop two members of the Selhurst Park faithful joining in with Leicester's celebrations at full time.

The jubilant Foxes away support stayed behind to revel in Riyad Mahrez's winner long after the final whistle and bellowed out chants of 'We're going to win the league'.

The Palace duo joined their opponents in song in order to throw their support behind Claudio Ranieri's unlikely title bid.

Leicester currently boast an eight-point lead at the top of the table and have become many neutrals' choice for the trophy given how they have unsettled the top-flight's traditional pecking order.

Palace, meanwhile, have had little to celebrate since the turn of the year - other than a run to the FA Cup semi-finals - and have a fight on their hands to secure survival.
