Alan Pardew was delighted to see Christian Benteke get off the mark for Crystal Palace in a 2-1 win at Middlesbrough.
Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew has hailed Christian Benteke's performance in the wake of Saturday's 2-1 win over Middlesbrough and feels the Belgium international can be impossible to defend against in certain circumstances.
Benteke earned Palace the lead early on at Riverside Stadium with a fine header after Wilfried Zaha's cross, sending the away team on the way to their first win of the Premier League season.
And Pardew was pleased to see the former Liverpool centre-forward open his Eagles account.
