# Crystal Palace: Fans respond on Twitter after Christian Benteke scores for Belgium

**Many Crystal Palace fans have given their responses on Twitter to the news that Christian Benteke has scored a goal.**

The Belgian forward has managed to bag for his country, scoring the seventh in their 9-0 win over [San Marino](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50003279).

Domestically, it’s not been an easy start to the season by any stretch. In fact, in Palace’s eight league games this season, Benteke has started two games – both of which were the opening games of the campaign.

Roy Hodgson’s patience seems to be wearing thin with Benteke as Jordan Ayew has been favoured [since the club’s 1-0 loss to Sheffield United](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christian-benteke/leistungsdaten/spieler/50201) in the second game of the season. What’s worse for Benteke is that the club have managed to improve massively since then, [winning four, drawing one and losing just once](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christian-benteke/leistungsdaten/spieler/50201), suggesting that it might be hard for him to get back into that team.

After the official Crystal Palace Twitter account tweeted about Benteke’s goal, many fans replied with a variety of responses. Some encouraged the striker, others found it funny, and some suggested it was hardly an achievement scoring against San Marino.

Here are some of the replies below…
