The goal started with full-back Curtis Fleming, who cut inside and played in Freedman on the right side of the penalty area – but the striker still had some work to do to find the far top corner.
Achieve it, he did, as Palace ran out 3-1 winners at Selhurst Park.
Christian Benteke v Chelsea – April 2017
Yes, that is future UEFA Champions League Final Man of the Match, Thibaut Courtois, between the posts...
But Christian Benteke had ice in his veins to score this quite remarkable effort in a 2-1 win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, exchanging passes with Wilfried Zaha, taking a touch to sit his Belgium international teammate down, and then scooping the most audacious of finishes over him.
A remarkable goal to cap a remarkable result: eventual champions Chelsea’s first home defeat in 10 league matches, and an outrageous goal to inflict it with, as well.
