Leicester City's Jamie Vardy in action with Crystal Palace's Yohan Cabaye Action Images via ReutersLeicester strikers Shinji Okazaki and Ahmed Musa ended lengthy goal droughts as the Premier League champions beat Crystal Palace 3-1 on Saturday. Claudio Ranieri's side were on course for their first win in four league matches after Nigeria international Musa claimed his first Leicester goal in his 10th appearance since a pre-season move from CSKA Moscow. Japan forward Okazaki doubled Leicester's lead in the second half at the King Power Stadium with his first goal in 14 league appearances. Austrian defender Christian Fuchs sealed the points in the closing stages with his first goal for the Foxes and Yohan Cabaye's late reply was no consolation for Palace. While Leicester have made a spluttering opening in the Premier League, they have looked more like the team that unexpectedly won the title during a run of three successive Champions League victories.
