Neil Warnock

Crystal Palace boss Neil Warnock has hailed John Oster's goal against Norwich as world class.

Palace wrapped up their third victory in four games with a 2-1 away win at the Canaries with Craig Beattie on target and Oster scoring with an audacious chip.

Warnock beamed: "You will never see a better piece of skill than that anywhere in the world.

"It was a goal that was worthy of winning any game, although I've just reminded John that he was supposed be marking Matthew Pattison when he scored!

"John has always had that sort of thing in him and I'm delighted with the way he is playing for us at the moment."

Norwich manager Glenn Roeder felt Beattie's goal was offside and fumed: "When I first saw it I thought their player was four or five yards offside.

"When I looked at it on the monitor it was a lot closer than that but the fact remains he was a yard off and the goal shouldn't have stood.

"We need to start games like we played in the second 45 minutes. We pulled a goal back and then got into some excellent positions on both flanks but unfortunately the quality of our final ball wasn't good enough."
