Christian Benteke

Christian Benteke failed to score again as Crystal Palace were made to pay in their defeat at home to Southampton.

The Eagles forward has found the net just three times in his last 36 Premier League appearances for his team – and one of those was a penalty.

Benteke had opportunities to open his account for the season in the 2-0 loss against the Saints on Saturday but was unable to get the ball beyond keeper Alex McCarthy.

Manager Roy Hodgson may decide to draft in Alexander Sorloth in attack to get back to wining ways if the Belgian continues his scoring drought.
