ComeOnSpurs.com, 7 Feb 2010
Crystal Palace battled to their third-successive win since going into administration as they beat ten man Scunthorpe 2-1 on the road yesterday.
Darren Ambrose opened the scoring before David Mirfin equalised for the Iron. But it was Neil Danns late goal which clinched the points for the Eagles.
Palace manager Neil warnock, said: "This business has drawn us all closer together, both players and supporters.

"These players just do not know when they are beaten.
"This was our third tough match within the space of a week.
"Scunthorpe is always a difficult place to come and you have to approach it with the same sort of attitude that you would a game at Newcastle."
However Warnock knows his side took a while to get into the game.
"Scunthorpe are a team that always give everything they have and to be fair I thought they were the better side in the first half," he continued.
"We did not deal with their direct approach very well.
"It was like I used to say when I was a manager up north, we looked like southern softies.
"But in the second half I told my players that now they had found their legs, this was a game we could go on and win. I thought we had that extra bit of quality.
"Our opening goal from Darren Ambrose was a terrific finish. Only he could have scored that.
"It was disappointing that we let Scunthorpe come back on level terms after going down to 10 men but Neil Danns has come up with a last-gasp winner and it's a terrific result for us."
Scunthorpe created but did not convert chances and had Marcus Williams sent off when they were 1-0 down.
Iron manager Nigel Adkins is considering considering an appeal over Williams' red card.
"It was disappointing to have a player sent off and we shall be looking to see if we can appeal," he said.
"This is only the third game in 11 that we have been beaten and each time it has come after we have suffered from red cards.
"Having said that, we had chances early in the game that we should have taken.
"It should have been beyond reach for Palace by half-time.
"I warned my players they had to be aware of the threats from Palace at set-pieces and it was disappointing their first goal came from a corner.
"Overall, I was pleased with our performance but it is a result like this that just reminds us how difficult it is to get points at Championship level."
