Crystal Palace threw away an early lead to lose 3-1 at Southampton.
Christian Benteke scored after just two minutes for the second successive game following his effort against Sheffield United last time out.
The Belgian took down a high ball in the area and fired into the bottom corner for his eighth league goal of the season.
Danny Ings levelled for Southampton with a neat turn and poke inside the post in the 19th minute.
Before the break, Luka Milivojevic wasted a chance to put Palace back in front when his weak penalty was saved by Fraser Forster after Wilfried Zaha was felled in the box.
Che Adams put the Saints 2-1 up on 48 minutes with a close-range finish at the back post off a well-worked corner.
Then Ings made the game safe for his second of the night by slipping past Scott Dann to fire home in the 75th minute.
