Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert was delighted with matchwinner Christian Benteke after victory at Crystal Palace.
Lambert hailed Benteke's return to goal-scoring form after a poor red card against Tottenham last month cost him a three-match ban.
"He's missed half the year, so that's the magnitude of it (his 30th goal in 60 league games), I'm delighted for him," said Lambert. "It was a great goal from Christian today.
"The suspension never helped his case, but that was a fantastic return."
