The Serbian midfielder has been burdened with the additional responsibility of leading the Palace side this season. The Eagles have not had the perfect start to their season with a couple of victories after ten games. However, their win over Fulham in their first match of the season, coupled with their draw against the Gunners would be motivating enough for the team to perform better.

The first penalty struck low down to the left corner after Cheikhou Kouyate fouled Shkodran Mustafi inside the box.

The second penalty was a powerful strike slightly higher than his previous one to the left goal post after a foul on Wilfried Zaha.

He leads the Eagles' stat char with 572 passes from his ten games along with 16 shots on goal. His defensive capabilities have helped him with 27 tackles and 16 interceptions to his credit.
