Clinton Morrison

CLINTON MORRISON rescued a point for Crystal Palace with a last-minute equaliser in a 2-2 draw with Leicester.

The Ireland striker netted inside stoppage time to preserve Palace's unbeaten start to the season.

Stuart Green sent the majority of Selhurst Park delerious when he blasted home a low 18-yard free-kick through the Leicester wall to give Palace the lead after 32 minutes.

Matt Lawrence almost got a rare goal but saw his shot from 10 yards pushed out by keeper Marton Fulop.

Leicester came out with all guns blazing in the second half and levelled on 63 minutes after DJ Campbell stabbed Patrick Kisnorbo's header that was parried by Julian Speroni over the line.

The Midlands club went in front three minutes from time as Kisnorbo had acres of space in the penalty area to glance home Stephen Clemence's corner.

But in the third minute of added time, sub Danny Butterfield's cross caused confusion in the box and MORRISON slotted past Fulop for his second goal in successive games.
