He has a big, big career in front of him, said Lambert.They travel to Norwich and host Chelsea before making the trip to Wigan on the final day of the season.For a lad of 22 he has played a lot of high-pressure games for club and country.I thought we were outstanding, fantastic right from the off in such a high-pressure game," added Lambert. "The crowd were fantastic. They identify with this young team and they bounce off each other.The crowd here love him and I can't speak highly enough of him. As long as he keeps his feet on the ground he can have a big career.I know Christian got man of the match but I thought Matthew Lowton was the best player on the pitch by an absolute mile.When you look at his header for his second goal he jumped the height of the crossbar. He has just been excellent.We have been playing extremely well since the turn of the year. They have never complained, never got their heads down and these young lads have just got better and better.Benteke, who was born in Congo but plays for Belgium, was signed from Genk for £7m in August 2012.We have tried to keep them level-headed and keep them believing what they are doing is right.
