Alan Pardew admitted Crystal Palace need some breathing space as their winless run continued with a 1-0 defeat to Leicester on Saturday. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Jersey . Riyad Mahrezs 34th-minute goal condemned Palace to their sixth success home Premier League loss.Although they are still eight points above the relegation zone, they have not won in the league since December 19 and face three of the top six in their next four matches, before their FA Cup semi-final with Watford. Riyad Mahrez of Leicester City celebrates winner We need to get a couple of wins and get them before the semi-final to give ourselves some breathing space, Pardew told Sky Sports. We have some difficult games but this is a team that can win at any time, we have proved that in the first half of the season and in the cup.But in the second half of the season we havent had that win that would have taken some pressure off. We handled it well today but it just wouldnt come for us.The closest Palace came to equalising was in second-half injury-time when Damien Delaney volleyed against the bar. Scott Dann admits Crystal Palace need to end their winless run as soon as possible We are on a tricky run and things are not falling for us, said Pardew. We tried to force it today and make sure our performance was at a level where we could overcome the fortune of the game. We almost achieved that, but not quite. Leicester definitely shaded the first half and looked the team that would go on to win, but we played very well in the second half and caused them some problems, which is difficult to do as they are a very organised team.While it was another disappointing result for Palace, Leicester are now eight points clear at the top of the table with seven games left to play. Phil Thompson gives his reaction to the result on Soccer Saturday They would be worthy champions in terms of their performance today, said Pardew. It was a difficult game for us and I thought we played reasonably well, particularly in the second half, but they came away with the win, and thats the sign of a good team.They have such speed and they are effortless going forward at times. They found a way, what won them the game was their defensive discipline. The midfield two did not give us any stake or anything to cling to so we could break. It had to be outstanding play from us to create a chance. Also See: C Palace 0-1 Leicester As it happened Palace fixtures Get a free ￡10 bet Austin Rivers Jersey .

Arsenal signed playmaker Mesut Ozil for a club record 50 million euros ($66 million) from Real Madrid on Monday, and United bought midfielder Marouane Fellaini from Everton for 27.5 million pounds ($43 million). The transfers pushed spending by Premier League clubs over 600 million pounds ($932 million) over the summer, a record amount on the back of new lucrative television deals. Arsenals recruitment of Ozil on a five-year deal was a coup, and the 24-year-old Germans arrival is an emphatic response by American owner Stan Kroenke to supporters who have demanded big spending. Fans had watched in frustration throughout the summer as north London rival Tottenham spent more than $150 million on seven players, while Arsenals only permanent recruits were the free signings of Yaya Sanogo and Mathieu Flamini. But after manager Arsene Wenger missed out on Gonzalo Higuain, Luis Suarez and Yohan Cabaye, the Gunners have pulled off the big-name signing promised in June when they said there would be an "escalation in our financial firepower." Ozils fee easily outstrips Arsenals previous largest transfer -- 15 million pounds (then $21.3 million) for Andrey Arshavin in 2009 -- and the club hopes he will help to produce its first trophy since 2005. "We have signed a world-class player who is one of Europes brightest young talents," chief executive Ivan Gazidis said. "Mr. Kroenke ... has always fully supported Arsene and the club in making significant investments to strengthen our squad and to bring in talented players who fit our style and ambitions." United, though, has been frustrated in its bid to spend before transfer activity was halted until January. Fellaini is the only notable signing since David Moyes replaced Alex Ferguson as manager at the end of last season. Moyes turned to former club Everton, after being unable to mark the start of his reign with a marquee signing. Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fabregas was pursued for several weeks and the champions failed in high-profile attempts Monday to bring Real Madrid defender Fabio Coentrao and Athletic Bilbao midfielder Ander Hererra to Old Trafford. "When I was given the opportunity to work with (Moyes) again, I jumped at the chance," Fellaini ssaid. Montrezl Harrell Jersey. The biggest Premier League spenders of the summer were Tottenham, who splurged more than 110 million pounds ($170 million) on seven players in its bid to break back into the top four and qualify for the Champions League. The spending spree was largely funded by Gareth Bale being sold to Real Madrid for a world-record 100 million euros ($132 million). But to subsidize that signing, Madrid had to offload players, and Tottenhams north London rival Arsenal was a beneficiary with the capture of Ozil. It was double-blow for Tottenham, having lost the derby to Arsenal on Sunday. Unbeaten leader Liverpool was active on deadline-day, building on a strong start to the season that has seen the team open the Premier League with three straight wins for the first time since 1993. The defensive options were enhanced with France international Mamadou Sakho signed from Paris Saint-Germain, and Tiago Ilori, who has represented Portugal at youth age groups, arriving from Sporting Lisbon. The duo cost a reported 25 million pounds ($39 million). Winger Victor Moses is at Anfield on a season-long loan after seeing his chances of first-team action at Chelsea plummet following the arrival of forwards Willian and Andre Schuerrle. Liverpool sent striker Fabio Borini on a season-long loan to Sunderland, while another Italian, former Anfield left back Andrea Dossena, joined the northeast club from Napoli. While raising money from the sale of Fellaini, Everton signed midfielder James McCarthy from Wigan for 13 million pounds ($20 million), and brought Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku and Manchester City midfielder Gareth Barry in on season-long loans. New City manager Manuel Pellegrini was looking to offload Barry after spending more than 90 million pounds ($140 million) rebuilding the 2012 champions squad which ended last season without a trophy. West Bromwich Albion added two forwards to its squad, with Victor Anichebe arriving from Everton in a deal worth up to six million pounds ($9 million), and Stephane Sessegnon coming from Sunderland. France midfielder Morgan Amalfitano is on board too after being recruited for the season from Marseille. A striker left the Hawthorns, with Peter Odemwingie leaving for Premier League rival Cardiff for around 2 million pounds ($3 million). Stoke signed Austria forward Marko Arnautovic from Werder Bremen, and Fulham brought Montenegro defender Elsad Zverotic from Swiss side Young Boys. cheap falcons jerseys cheap ravens jerseys cheap bills jerseys cheap bears jerseys cheap bengals jerseys cheap cowboys jerseys cheap lions jerseys cheap texans jerseys cheap colts jerseys cheap jaguars jerseys cheap chiefs jerseys cheap rams jerseys cheap dolphins jerseys cheap vikings jerseys cheap saints jerseys cheap giants jerseys cheap jets jerseys cheap eagles jerseys cheap steelers jerseys cheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
