Watch Benteke's 66-second opener and Eze's half-pitch dribble in Blades highlights

Crystal Palace looked confident and hungry in their 2-0 defeat of Sheffield United, with the Eagles netting at the very start and very end of the game.

The afternoon began in dramatic fashion, with Christian Benteke scoring after just 66 seconds.

But the Eagles didn't sit back and admire their early start, instead pushing their hosts hard throughout the 90 minutes and forcing goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale into impressive action.

As the game drew to a close, it seemed United still had a chance to fight back as the scoreline somehow still read 0-1, however Eberechi Eze sealed Palace's three points and Premier League safety with a remarkable mazy dribble from his own half.
