LEEDS, England, Feb 8 (Reuters) - Leeds United's Jack Harrison scored early before striker Patrick Bamford reached the 100 goals milestone to lift the Yorkshire side into the top half of the Premier League with a 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace on Monday. It was a first home win this year for Leeds, who have still lost more games than they have won at Elland Road this season, and nudged them up to 10th on 32 points from 22 games. Palace, who won their last away game at Newcastle United but had to do without injured talisman Wilfried Zaha, remain in 13th place, three points behind Leeds having played a game more. Harrison’s opener came after 150 seconds, with a shot that took a slight deflection off Palace's Gary Cahill and looped high into the net leaving goalkeeper Vicente Guaita caught out.
