Crystal Palace midfielder Luka Milivojevic is determined to take penalties in future.
The Serbian midfielder had the chance to provide a breakthrough as he stepped up to take the penalty after Seamus Coleman fouled Wilfried Zaha inside the penalty box. But a splendid save by Everton custodian Jordan Pickford denied the Eagles to open their account.
The game was seemingly edging towards a goalless draw but two late strikes from Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Cenk Tosun sank Roy Hodgson’s men. Milivojevic insists he is going to take penalties despite missing the previous one.
“I was 100 per cent sure that I was going to score.
“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.”
“We had discussion (after the Everton game),”
“We know how to get out of that situation because we’ve been in a worse situation last season.”
“Especially I know we’re going to get out of this situation because we have a lot of good characters in the squad and we’re going to show that soon I’m sure.”
