Milivojevic determined to keep Crystal Palace penalty responsibility

Crystal Palace captain Luka Milivojevic insists he will not shirk from his penalty taking responsibilities.

The Serbian midfielder had his spot-kick saved by Everton's Jordan Pickford on Sunday. The Toffees then went on to claim a 2-0 victory.

Despite being denied, Milivojevic remains confident of his abilities.

"I was 100 per cent sure that I was going to score," Milivojevic said.

"I step up to take responsibility to try to make something good and positive for my team and in the end you miss and after that you are punished in the last five minutes. It's hard and very painful."

"Just in the end I think I did a mistake in my last step before the shot and maybe that decided it, but I have confidence to take another one and score for my team."
