Luka Milivojevic has lauded Crystal Palace avoiding relegation as an 'amazing achievement'.

The Eagles had 11 players sidelined at one point during the hectic December-January period of games.

But they are now 12 points clear of relegation with 9 matches remaining.

"[It is an] amazing achievement," Milivojevic said.

"Through the season, if you see in the most difficult period of the year in December and January and we played for a month and a half with only 11, 12 [senior] players.

"We had a lot of injuries, we survived during that period. Not winning many games but not losing a lot games. We drew a lot of games. After that, we had some players back. I think we are back, we are all happy and the atmosphere is great."
