How social media reacted to Palace's late show
When Christian Benteke’s 94th minute volley hit the back of the net to leave Brighton & Hove Albion stunned, it sparked wild celebrations in living rooms across the country – here are some of the best reactions.
Former Palace favourite Yannick Bolasie – who knows something about important victories against Brighton – could hardly contain himself when Benteke’s goal went in.
Bentekeeeeeeeee!!!!!! Oiiiiiii 💨💨💨💨💨💨💨

Nor could ex-Eagle Darren Ambrose:
Wow @cpfc @chrisbenteke 👏👏👏

Wilfried Zaha may have been unavailable to play in the game – but he certainly lived every minute.
CHRISTIAN BENTEKE !!!!!!!!! Endyebehausbeheusbeh!

Zaha isn’t the only one who may have let his excitement get the better of him…
Few spelling mistakes in this

The lad has bagged a spinning back-heel through the legs of the keeper in a 2-1 win away at Brighton for his first goal in our colours.
Immediate hero status.
