Christian Benteke has been named the Mansion Player of the Month for September.

The Belgian, who left Liverpool in August for a club-record deal worth £32.5m, has enjoyed a fine start to life at Palace.

The 25-year-old scored three goals in four Premier League games as the Eagles climbed to eighth in the top-flight.

Three headers helped Alan Pardew’s Palace to record wins against Middlesbrough and Sunderland and a draw at Everton.

Benteke took his domestic form into international duty by bagging a hat-trick in Belgium’s 6-0 victory over Gibraltar.
