Crystal Palace are currently on their best run of form this season, winning three games in a row. Before their win against Watford, the side had only managed to win two games in a row this season.
All three of their most recent wins were 1-0 victories. This means that, up until the final whistle, the fans would have been on the edge of their seat anticipating full time.
Jordan Ayew, the match-winner, also put on a brilliant display of time-wasting against Watford at the end of the match.
Who has better tekkers?
Christian Benteke
Jordan Ayew
Palace’s Twitter posted a video of Christian Benteke and the Ghanaian dancing around the Watford defenders in the corner, eating up precious seconds in the dying embers of the match.
When the side posted the video, fans couldn’t help but applaud the silky footwork of the duo. Here are some of their responses.

What do we think?
Winning football matches is always important, but entertaining the fans is the big part of being a football player as well. Benteke and Ayew clearly had the fans on their feet during this passage of play, and rightly so.
Crystal Palace will hope to continue their winning form against Bournemouth next weekend before travelling to Liverpool, who are on the cusp of winning the league.
