# Crystal Palace: Fans respond to Christian Benteke’s tweet after bagging twice

**Many Crystal Palace fans have responded on Twitter to a Christian Benteke tweet about how amazing it felt to score for his country.**

The forward managed to bag a brace versus Cyprus as Belgium beat them 6-1, meaning that they finished their Euro qualifying group as comfortable winners, winning every single match and averaging four goals per game.

Following that final win, the 28-year-old thanked his country’s fans for all of the support and followed off by saying he’s going back to Palace for a big end to the year.

Benteke has had a torrid time in recent years. The Eagles’ record signing started so well at Selhurst Park with [17](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christian-benteke/leistungsdaten/spieler/50201/plus/0?saison=2016) goals in his first season, but he has added just four more since then.

According to [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christian-benteke/leistungsdaten/spieler/50201), he has now played as many games for Crystal Palace as he has for Aston Villa (101), but the goal-scoring records are completely different. He was able to score 49 at his time at Villa; however, he has only scored 21 during his spell in south London.

Many fans responded to the tweet with a wide range of opinions. Some were happy to see him score, while others just criticised him for his poor form.

Here are some of the replies below…
