Freedman: We're not there yet

Crystal Palace manager Dougie Freedman is not celebrating yet despite all but securing the club's safety with a 1-0 win over Leeds. Neil Danns' early strike leaves the Eagles six points clear of the drop zone with two games to play, and they have a superior goal difference. The hosts had to soak up a great deal of pressure but they held on to put a dent in the Whites' promotion ambitions. Freedman said: "We are not quite there yet, mathematically we can still have things go against us. "We want to finish the season on a high with two wins and we will reassess it for next season. "I have reassured the lads that they are good enough to stay up and told them to keep a smile on their faces - and they have done that."
