Crystal Palace captain Milivojevic happy for Zaha after 'amazing achievement'

Crystal Palace captain Luka Milivojevic is delighted for Wilfried Zaha after reaching his 300th league appearance.

But Zaha was unable to help Roy Hodgson's team get the better of Leicester at Selhurst Park on Sunday, with second-half goals from Caglar Soyuncu and Jamie Vardy handing the Foxes a 2-0 win.

"It's an amazing achievement," Milivojevic said. "To play 300 (league) games for one club is amazing and he is an important player for us, but his future is in his hands."

On the defeat to Brendan Rodgers' side, he added: "It was a very even game, we had a few chances in the first half and they had one.

"I think one small situation decided the game, that was the corner, after that the game changed and it was different. I think it could be the opposite as well. In the end they won 2-0 which I don't think they deserved."
