Crystal Palace has won its first major trophy after beating Manchester City 1-0 in the FA Cup final on Saturday.
Crystal Palace has won its first major trophy after beating Manchester City 1-0 in the FA Cup final on Saturday. For Manchester City and Pep Guardiola, the final loss represents a first trophyless season since the 2016-17 campaign. Oliver Glasner’s side took the lead in the first half at Wembley Stadium in London when Eberechi Eze finished off a customary Crystal Palace counterattack. Manchester City piled on the pressure for the remainder of the game and will regret passing on missed opportunities throughout – including a missed penalty from Omar Marmoush. Crystal Palace took the lead in the 16th minute with a free-flowing goal its fans have grown accustomed to seeing during Glasner’s time in charge of the club. The South London team went from back-to-front in lightning speed with a trademark counterattack.
