Crystal Palace captain Luka Milivojevic was delighted with victory at Manchester City on Saturday.

The Serb scored from the spot for the shock 3-2 win.

"This result is very special, I am very proud and after the last game against Leicester at home we went on and got the win today. To be honest, you try to do something but you don't expect a lot from these kind of games but when you score three goals here you can say you deserved to win," said Milivojevic as he heaped praise on the second Palace goal, an excellent strike from 30 yards out by Andros Townsend.

“It was an amazing goal, one of the best I have seen in my career whilst I have been out on the pitch playing in a game".

Milivojevic missed a spot-kick against City 12 months ago in a home draw but he made no mistake in front of the 800 Palace fans inside the stadium.

He also told cpfc.co.uk: “I was not nervous, I decided where I wanted to place the ball and I think that goal was massive because that going in gave us more confidence for the second half, Let's say they possibly gave up a little bit after that goal but then they score late on which put a lot of pressure on us. It wasn't an easy game but as I say we are all so proud of this victory and we now know the next game is massive for us. (against Cardiff City) I want to thank our fans and I think they deserved this victory."
