The former Crystal Palace forward, who now works as a pundit for BBC Sport, was impressed with the saves that Darlow made in their Premier League game against Tottenham away from home at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday.
Morrison told BBC Sport (3:43pm) after Darlow made a save: “It’s a good save. That ball’s moving. It was a good attempt from Erik Lamela and another good save from Karl Darlow. He has had an excellent game.”
Very good performance
Darlow, who has been at Newcastle since 2014, had one of his best games for the Magpies.
The 29-year-old made important saves throughout the game, which is why Newcastle could hold on until the final minutes when they scored from a penalty and made it 1-1.
