‘Lesson In Positioning’ – Ex-England Star Lauds Crystal Palace Player
Story updated
The story in brief
30-second readJustin Setterfield/Getty Images Former England goalkeeper Rob Green has dubbed goalkeeper Walter Benitez’s performance for Crystal Palace against Nottingham Forest as ‘fantastic’, insisting that it was a lesson in positioning.
In the absence of first-choice goalkeeper Dean Henderson, who has missed Palace’s last three matches with a recurring ankle injury, Benitez has been assigned the job of manning the goal.
He has brought some stability back to the Crystal Palace defence, managing one clean sheet against Leeds United and then going on to hold fort to concede just one in the 3-1 win over Nottingham Forest on Sunday. @media only screen and (max-width:42em){#videoAd{min-height:382px!important}#snack_dex7,#snack_mex7{max-height:50px!important;max-width:320px!important}}@media only screen and (min-width:42em){#videoAd{min-height:480px!important}#belowVideoAd{min-height:120px!important}}#videoAd{background:#f9f9f9}#belowVideoAd{background:#f9f9f9;width:100%} Enjoying this story?
