Ravel Morrison scored a spectacular winner as Derby County maintained their fight for a miraculous survival.
The beleaguered Championship side entered today's contest at home to Preston North End bottom of the table and eight points from safety. But a crucial 1-0 win at Pride Park moved Wayne Rooney's side to within six points of fourth-bottom side Reading.
Preston were reduced to ten men in the first half when Liam Lindsay was given his marching orders only for County's Max Bird to follow suit after the interval. But Morrison, who started his career at Manchester United, popped up with the only goal of the game 10 minutes from time - and it was worth waiting for. The 29-year-old leapt onto a loose ball after Preston failed to clear their lines from a corner and produced a stunning, scissor kick-style effort that flew into the net.
