Lambert backed for top flight success

RICKIE LAMBERT
Rickie Lambert WILL score goals in the Premier League next season.
That was the view of Crystal Palace manager Dougie Freedman after Lambert’s double had given Saints a 2-0 victory at Selhurst Park yesterday.
Lambert now has 30 league and cup goals to his name this term, including 26 in the league.
Freedman admitted: "Rickie Lambert was the difference.
"He has experience and if I was a betting man I'd say he'll produce a few goals in the Premier League.
"The first goal was against the run of play and was a bitter pill to swallow.
"But I'm very happy with our performance. We gave it a right good go with six youngsters against a top team."
