Gary Lineker has taken to Twitter to react after watching Christian Benteke equalise in Crystal Palace’s 2-2 draw against Arsenal last night.
What’s the story?
Well, the Eagles delivered another impressive display, and were unlucky to leave the Emirates Stadium with just one point.
Goals from Benteke and Odsonne Edouard gave Crystal Palace a 2-1 lead heading into stoppage time, although Alexandre Lacazette netted a 95th minute equaliser to peg Patrick Vieira’s side back.
After Benteke found the back of the net, Lineker opted to point out how Vieira has transformed the south Londoners into a ‘different’ side.
You can see the BBC Match of the Day host’s tweet in full below.
Lineker isn’t wrong.
Crystal Palace look braver on the ball, and have some seriously exciting attackers who can cause most teams problems.
Crystal Palace will only improve on Arsenal display
Vieira will be annoyed to see his side throw away another win, after doing the exact same thing against Brighton on September 27th in a 1-1 draw.
However, the Frenchman will surely be encouraged by what’s to come.
Vieira was without Wilfried Zaha last night, while Ebere Eze is also close to a return after he resumed training at Copers Cope.
Throw in those two, along with Conor Gallagher, Michael Olise and Edouard, and Crystal Palace look seriously threatening.
The south Londoners are yet to reach their full potential under Vieira this season, in our view,
For now, Vieira should respect the point against the Gunners, and keep working to ensure his side stay focused until the last second.
