McArthur 'honoured' to play for 'incredible club' in 200th appearance

On making his 200th appearance for Crystal Palace, James McArthur said he was 'honoured' to play for an 'incredible club'.

McArthur, who joined the Eagles in 2014, marked his double-century with a sensational performance in a 2-0 victory over AFC Bournemouth.

He looked back on his landmark achievement and match in general, saying: "I didn’t actually know until after the game [about the 200th appearance]. But to play for this incredible club that many times, I’m honoured. But I’m looking to play a lot more.

"We had a bit of everything. We defended well as a team when they put us under a lot of pressure, especially towards the end.
