Palace pair split by 15 votes in MOTM battle

<html><head></head><body>Ultimately, Cahill just scooped the accolade ahead of goalscorer Milivojevic for yet another clean sheet-earning display at the heart of defence.
Cahill pipped Milivojevic to the post as the pair earned 45% of votes cast, leaving Cheikhou Kouyate and Joel Ward in third and fourth place.
After the game, <a href="/news/2021/march/gary-cahill-reacts-to-crystal-palace-v-west-bromwich-albion/">Cahill expressed his satisfaction with the 1-0 victory, saying</a>: &#34;[It was] one game where we needed to dig in and defend well. We tried to create our own chances on the break but the main thing for us today certainly was getting back to winning ways and getting three points. We’re delighted with the result.&#34;
The centre-back&#39;s stats spoke for themselves against the Baggies - as you can see below - and he has been instrumental in Palace keeping three clean sheets from their last four games.
