Palace’s record signing notched his third goal in five Premier League games as Alan Pardew’s side returned to Selhurst Park with a valuable 1-1 draw at Everton.

Behind after a Romelu Lukaku free-kick, Benteke & Co. looked rejuvenated after the interval as the Belgium international looped home an excellent header from Joel Ward’s cross.

The 25-year-old is looking to get his career back on track after a disappointing 12 months at Liverpool and he seems to be far more comfortable in being the star name in the team, like he was at Aston Villa, compared to being a bit-part player, like he was on Merseyside.
