Chritian Benteke made amends for his late penalty miss against Bournemouth last week on Saturday as he opened the scoring for the 'Eagles' against Leicester.

The Belgian was forced to apologises to team-mates and fans for 'letting them down' last week, but he went the right way about getting them back onside.

Andros Townsend crossed from deep on the right and the powerful Benteke ghosted in on the shoulder of Danny Simpson to guide a header into the corner.

It was a simple goal, but Benteke won't mind, with the strike his first of the season.
