Benteke: I knew a chance was coming

Having netted a last-ditch winner at Sunderland, Crystal Palace's Christian Benteke says he could feel a chance was coming his way.

Christian Benteke insists he always knew a chance would come his way after scoring a stoppage-time winner at Sunderland.

The Belgium forward could not find the target in a busy first half at the Stadium of Light and then saw the hosts take a two-goal lead through Jermain Defoe.

However, Palace hit back through Joe Ledley and James McArthur, and "patient" Benteke took his chance with just seconds remaining to clinch a 3-2 win.

"That is a massive win," he said.
