Christian Benteke just keeps getting 'better and better'

Christian Benteke snatched a winner for Liverpool against Bordeaux

CHRISTIAN BENTEKE is getting 'better and better' according to team-mate Kolo Toure.

 

The Belgium international signed for Liverpool over the summer for £32.5million and came with a weight of expectation given his form at the back-end of last season.

The 24-year-old went on a blistering run of form during Aston Villa's Premier League run-in, netting nine times in their last 10 games.

 

And despite a slow start to his Liverpool career, Toure believes he is getting near to the level that fans have become accustomed to seeing from him.

"Christian is a top player, he was fantastic for Aston Villa and now he is coming into the team better and better," he said.

 

And the target-man showed his worth in last night's Europa league clash with Bordeaux, scoring the winner to atone for Simon Mignolet's goalkeeping gaffe.

"For a striker, you need goals. He scored one goal [against Bordeaux] and that will be really important for him and his confidence will grow," Toure added.

Benteke has made 13 appearances for the Reds this season, netting five times in all competitions.
