Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson wants more of Benteke and Zaha partnership

Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson has expressed his admiration for the strike partnership formed by Christian Benteke and Wilfried Zaha recently.

Zaha and Benteke led the Eagles’ frontline against Arsenal on Sunday and then scored a goal each in their 3-2 win over the Gunners.
