Clinton Morrison

Crystal Palace's promotion bid got back on track with a convincing 3-1 win away to Sheffield Wednesday.

Clinton Morrison scored his first away goal of the season when he put the Eagles ahead in the 31st minute.

He was put through with a one-on-one with keeper Paul Heald and looked off-side, but he calmly slotted home.

Dougie Freedman got the second goal after taking advantage of a poor back pass. Then Jamie Smith added the third after being set up by Freedman from the edge of the area in the 37th minute.

The Owls got a goal back when Efan Ekoku scored two minutes before the break, but the Eagles held out for a vital three points.
