Crystal Palace have finally won a football match… They have not only just won a football match but also kept a clean sheet. Not only have they won a football match and kept a clean sheet – they have now won only their fourth game of 2016 at Selhurst Park.
In an even game, it was a day that Southampton’s defensive errors proved costly with Fraser Forster with the first of those after going to kick the ball, but missing it completely, gifting Benteke with his first goal.
Tomkins then tapped the ball into the back of the net from just a few yards out, after a free-kick towards the end of the first half. Birthday boy Betneke, who was celebrating his 26th birthday added another late in the second half, with an assist from Puncheon.
The Eagles move to 13th in the Premier League. Is this a sign of change for Palace? Here are the best images from the game:
