Hero Morrison not Taylor-made for Palace

Crystal Palace 1 Leeds 0. CRYSTAL PALACE boss Peter Taylor wants Clinton Morrison to improve his fitness following the striker’s injury-time winner against Leeds yesterday.

Morrison stepped off the bench to secure a 1-0 win for Palace against Kevin Blackwell’s 10-man side – a result that took Taylor’s side two points clear at the top of the Coca-Cola Championship and preserved their 100% start to the campaign.

Leeds looked as they would overcome the loss of Geoff Horsfield, who was shown a straight red card in the 15th minute following a tangle with Palace defender Mark Hudson, to earn a point, but Morrison’s late effort condemned them to their first defeat of the campaign.
