Crystal Palace owe their remarkable 3-2 victory over Arsenal today in part to frontman Christian Benteke, one of three goalscorers in a triumphant win over the Premier League's stand-out home side.
The Belgian opened scoring with a header close to goal early in the clash and received praise from manager Roy Hodgson before expressing his own relief in post-match interviews.
Having spent much of this season sidelined by a lengthy injury, Benteke has had to fight to regain his place in the Palace team and today showcased just why Hodgson entrusted him with leading the line in one of the Eagles' toughest challenges.
