Gary Lineker praises Ravel Morrison after ex-Manchester United starlet scores twice for Derby County

Former Manchester United prospect Ravel Morrison ended his eight-year wait for a goal in England after scoring a crucial brace for Wayne Rooney's Derby County side.

His double helped the Rams move closer to safety after they beat fellow relegation-strugglers Barnsley. It was his first goal in his native country since he found the back of the net in QPR's 5-2 win over Nottingham Forest in April 2014.

Morrison helped his team continue their quest for survival after their progression this season has been thwarted by numerous point deductions following their trouble off the pitch. The former Reds ' player's inspired performance led them to within touching distance of safety and earned praise from England legend Gary Lineker.
