Crystal Palace secured a huge win at Selhurst Park after beating Everton 3-1, with Conor Gallagher once again the star of the show for the south London club.
The Chelsea loanee bagged a brace as the midfielder was key to Patrick Vieira’s side claiming three massive points in the Premier League. Palace had not won in the top-flight since November 6th, with Sunday’s result against Everton taking the Eagles up to 12th in the standings.
With the festive schedule really kicking in, every point is valuable for sides in similar positions as Palace, and fans on social media are revelling in their win against Everton. And supporters are also showering Christian Benteke in praise for one moment that was picked up.
The striker, who joined Palace in 2016 for a reported fee of £27m according to the Guardian, followed up Gallagher’s spectacular second goal against Everton by blasting the ball past Jordan Pickford before getting in the face of the England international.
Indeed, it was a moment that didn’t lead to any agro between the two players. However, Palace fans on social media loved the action from Benteke on one of Everton’s star players.
The result was exactly what the Eagles needed after a poor run of form in the Premier League, and supporters on social media are on cloud nine after Palace’s display against Everton, who have slumped back down to reality after their win against Arsenal on Monday.
