Iversen impact delights Freedman
Crystal Palace caretaker manager Dougie Freedman saluted the impact of Steffen Iversen after the veteran striker scored the winner against Preston on his debut.
Iversen was only given international clearance hours before the clash against the npower Championship's bottom club, then headed the winner in the 58th minute.
The 34-year-old former Tottenham striker arrived from Rosenborg on a free transfer and only had two training sessions with his new team-mates.
"Steffen was brilliant," Freedman said. "I knew he would tire but he was around the last three or four days and as a leader around the group he had to start - and I thought he was fantastic for us."
