Crystal Palace captain Milivojevic wants AJ Premier League penalty record

Crystal Palace captain Luka Milivojevic admits he's chasing a Premier League penalty record.

For victory over Newcastle, Milivojevic duly smashed his 10th straight conversion from 12 yards.

One more and he equals the Premier League record for a single season set by former Palace striker Andy Johnson.

"I can't say I don't want the record!" said the Serbia midfielder. "It's not really in my power but, when we get a penalty, it's my job to score.

"This season we've had many, many penalties. It's not by accident, it happens because we have a lot of quality players who get in the box, so we're very dangerous in these situations."
