​Benteke wants to carry international form into Palace games

Christian Benteke is looking to continue his good form for Belgium with Crystal Palace after he scored the fastest-ever goal in World Cup qualifying on Monday.

"The coach told us to press high as soon as the game kicked off," Benteke told Belgian network RTBF.

Benteke, who has six goals in nine games for club and country this season, said ahead of the clash with West Ham this weekend: "The last few weeks I feel good and that you see on the field. I want to hold this form at my club."
