Christian Benteke won and converted a coolly taken penalty deep into injury time to earn 10-man Liverpool a 2-1 win at Crystal Palace on Sunday, boosting his team's faint hopes of finishing in the Premier League's European places. On as a late substitute, Benteke fell to the ground under the slightest of touches from Palace defender Damien Delaney, who pulled out of a tackle in the fourth minute of stoppage time. The referee awarded a penalty on the advice of his assistant and Benteke took the kick himself, halting midway through his run-up before slotting it home.
