Glenn Murray and Andre Moritz fired Crystal Palace two points clear at the top of the Championship after a 3-0 win over Derby yesterday.
The Eagles’ in-form frontmen made it three wins out of three for new boss Ian Holloway and stretched their unbeaten run to 14 matches.
Murray grabbed his sixth and seventh goals in four games and Brazilian Moritz – whose inclusion from the start was the first change Holloway has made to the team since he took over – rifled in his third in three.
Derby failed to muster an effort on target and crashed to a second defeat in a week in south London following last Saturday’s loss at Millwall.
