Crystal Palace pair Christian Benteke and Andros Townsend clashed at the end of victory over Middlesbrough.

Despite securing a vital win in their quest to avoid relegation, the players stood toe-to-toe in an angry exchange, says the Daily Mail.

Benteke was furious with Townsend for not passing him the ball in the closing stages of the game, the England international instead choosing to shoot.

Belgium striker Benteke let his colleague know his feelings after the full-time whistle.

Middlesbrough goalkeeper Victor Valdes eventually intervened to stop the argument escalating.
