Crystal Palace fans react to Christian Benteke’s last-gasp winner vs Brighton

A selection of Crystal Palace fans were delighted with the impact of Christian Benteke during the club’s 2-1 Premier League win over rivals Brighton & Hove Albion.

The south London had a testing challenge at The Amex Stadium last night where the Seagulls commanded three-thirds of the possession and had 25 goal attempts.

Still, Roy Hodgson’s side prevailed with the victory and that came about from two moments of brilliance from Jean-Philippe Mateta and Benteke.

Mateta scored for the first time in English football in the 28th minute where he improvised with a sublime backheel goal on the run.
