# Crystal Palace: Fans hit out at Joachim Andersen

**Plenty of Crystal Palace fans have hit out at Joachim Andersen on social media for his performance against Leicester City on Sunday afternoon.**

Patrick Vieira named the [same side](https://twitter.com/CPFC/status/1444633402196463616) which drew [1-1](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58620544) with Brighton last time out, sticking with a 4-3-3 system. That meant the 25-year-old kept his place in the team at centre-back, keeping up his record of [featuring](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/joachim-andersen/leistungsdaten/spieler/260827) in every Premier League game this season.

The [Denmark international](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/joachim-andersen/profil/spieler/260827), who cost the club just under [£16m](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/crystal-palace/transfers/verein/873) in the summer, partnered Marc Guehi at the back but had an afternoon to forget against the Foxes.

He was [at fault](https://www.skysports.com/football/c-palace-vs-leicester/446351) for Kelechi Iheanacho’s opener after losing the ball cheaply and didn’t cover himself in glory for Jamie Vardy’s effort a few moments later as the Eagles battled back from two goals down to secure a 2-2 draw.

Andersen lost the ball on 22 occasions and failed to make a tackle or a block. Indeed, as per [Sofascore,](https://www.sofascore.com/team/football/crystal-palace/7) he was Palace’s lowest-rated player on the day with a measly 5.8.
