International Eagles on song with goals from Benteke and more

It was a bumper night for Palace’s internationals that saw three goals scored by three different players – including a stunning volley and a 96th minute equaliser!

The action started in Senegal, as Cheikhou Kouyate’s side took on Eswatini in their African Cup of Nations qualifier. Trailing 1-0 as the game ticked into added time, Kouyate reminded everyone that – despite his impressive transition to a defensive role – his attacking instincts remain as sharp as ever, pouncing on a goalkeeping mistake to prod home.

As Kouyate was celebrating his heroics, Belgium were kicking off against Belarus as their World Cup qualifying campaign continued.
