    It's been coming. Swansea take a deserved lead through more excellent work from the two men that have run the show, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Wilfried Bony. A Bony backheel frees Sigurdsson, who returns the ball for Bony to sweep past Kasper Schmeichel. That's three in three for the Ivorian. Swansea could be heading for the top six.

    Pepe powers in a bullet of a header to give Real the lead but Barcelona's defending was terrible, considering their back line had not been breached in the league this season until today.

    "At the moment Leicester are little too preoccupied with Wilfried Bony. Yes he is a good player but the defence is following his movements a little bit too much. They have to look behind them, where Gylfi Sigurdsson has been drifting in. There is also a great contest between Richie De Laet and Jefferson Montero. Montero looked to have got the better of De Laet early in the first half but he has been coming back into it.

    "Without wanting to say too much, it seems Leicester have just taken a little bit of the sting out of Swansea ..."

    The quiffed Gary Monk has probably got the best hairdo of all the 20 Premier League managers. Not surprising, considering he's the youngest of the lot. Not sure about the jumper and blazer look, though. He's off his bench to scream at his players, who are still controlling the game without rewards.

    Halfway through the first half, deadlock unbroken. Very watchable, though, particularly thanks to the Swansea industry, led by Gylfi Sigurdsson. Who needs that piffling little game in Spain?

    If Real Madrid-Barcelona is El Clasico, then Swansea-Leicester is El...what?

    Still a sizzling atmosphere in Swansea, the home side launching wave after wave of attack against a Leicester side creaking under the strain. Drum still bangs, home fans still singing, but no breakthrough. Yet.

    "Kasper Schmeichel got away with murder there. I'm not sure what he was doing. Trying to be a bit clever and dink it? He should have just hoofed it clear. Gylfi Sigurdsson was almost startled by how much time he had, but fair play to Wes Morgan - he got himself back, got a toe on the ball and there were no real complaints from the Swansea players."

    What's going on here? Kasper Schmeichel has a Vito Mannone moment, passing the ball straight to Gylfi Sigurdsson. The Icelander comes under a challenge from Wes Morgan, goes down and the home crowd screams for a penalty. Sigurdsson doesn't really appeal and replays show Morgan got the ball. Good decision. Maybe Schmeichel was still worrying about the size of the goals.

    Crystal Palace manager Neil Warnock: "He (Mark Clattenburg) had a good game and I wish we had him every week. But there were two or three decisions that went against us and that cost us.

    "It was a certain penalty in the first half (for Zaha)."

    On Craig Dawson's challenge on Julian Speroni which led to West Brom's first goal: "It was just like an assault. How one of the four officials can't see it I don't know. He got absolutely smashed. I thought goalkeepers got the benefit of the doubt, but obviously not.

    "Julian is just a bit dazed. He wanted to carry on."

    Leicester still stuck in their own half, with skipper Wes Morgan lucky to escape the book when he clobbers Wilfried Bony. Finally the Foxes venture over the halfway line, but are hitting a wall of white.

    West Brom boss Alan Irvine, after his side fought back from two-goals down: "I am disappointed because it wasn't us for 32 minutes. At half-time I was the most angry I have been.

    "We gave ourselves a mountain to climb. But credit to the players for keeping going to the end and I think we got what we deserved. I was pleased to get a point, having left ourselves a lot to do."

    "Pressure is building from Swansea. Wilfried Bony's first-time strike was thankfully handled well by Kasper Schmeichel, but the signs are there.

    "Leicester just need to settle down a little bit, they look a little bit flustered when in possession at the moment."

    The first shot on target, Gylfi Sigurdsson pulling the strings to lay the ball on to Wilfried Bony. Hit from distance, straight at Schmeichel. Leicester can't get out, the home fans are rowdy. Good atmos.

    There exists the incessant banging of a drum in south Wales, the sort you feel inside your head after one drink too many. Swansea having the better of it, but more style than substance at the minute.

    James Evans, Hove: Sumptuous south coast soccer. Saints 8-0 Sunderland last week, Birmingham 0-8 Bournemouth this week. No prizes for guessing what scoreline I'm going for when Portsmouth travel to Plymouth on November 15...

    More on goalpost-gate. Apparently, Leicester felt they were too big. Without banging about it, does it matter what size they are, so long as they're the same at both ends? Maybe you'd be more worried about big goals if your keeper is small, but Kasper Schmeichel is a unit.

    "Leicester do need to improve their passing. Three or four times already they have given the ball away needlessly.

    "We all know Gylfi Sigurdsson is a threat but Swansea are dangerous all over the pitch. Leicester have the personnel to cope with that defensively, but can they just be that little bit creative going forward too?"
