Cahill reveals Milivojevic free-kick was a repeat from pre-match

Gary Cahill praised teammate Luka Milivojevic after the Serbia international scored a thunderous free-kick this evening against AFC Bournemouth, revealing that he'd seen the goal mirrored just the day before.

Cahill was speaking to Premier League Productions after Palace's 2-0 triumph, and said: "He’s a very good technician, a very tidy passer of the ball. How many times was he practising? He was practising yesterday just before we left. He stayed after training and I saw him do that, it paid dividends. It was a fantastic strike."

First Team

Cahill then turned his attention to the wider team, celebrating Palace's fourth consecutive clean sheet and victory, a Premier League first for the south Londoners.
