James Morrison: 'Our hard work paid off'

West Bromwich Albion midfielder James Morrison feels that his side's hard work during the week paid dividends as a result of their 2-0 win over Crystal Palace.

West Bromwich Albion midfielder James Morrison believes that his side's 2-0 win over Crystal Palace was the result of hard work on the training pitch.

The Baggies all but secured their status in the Premier League next season as goals from Morrison and Craig Gardner guided them past the in-form Eagles at Selhurst Park.

The 28-year-old is adamant that his side still have work to do this season to ensure that they reach the 40-point mark and guarantee safety.

He told BBC Sport: "We worked hard during the week on being hard to beat and it worked today. We will try and get to 40 points, that is our target.

"We have some good games coming up and we look forward to that."

West Brom have moved up to 13th in the Premier League table with 36 points from their 33 matches.
