Crystal Palace striker Christian Benteke says they must not dwell on their 4-1 thrashing by Chelsea.

On a positive individual note, Benteke's goal against the Blues was his sixth of the season - a powerful header on the end of a Jeffrey Schlupp cross.

The Belgian expressed his pride in his form this campaign but brought conversation back to a disappointing evening at Selhurst Park: "It [scoring] is a good feeling because I get the chance to play week in, week out.

"I'm happy to score but all I want is to help the team and today we didn't really do our job, especially in the first-half.

"The second-half was much better and I think we have to take this positive. Now we have two weeks to work hard, to do our job and to get ready for Leicester.

"When you lose at home 4-1, it doesn't matter even if it's against a big team, we just want to bounce back. Now we've got 18 days I think left to speak, to work and we move on."
