Crystal Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson, on BBC One: "Incredible. We had a feeling it would be our day today. The manager got a gameplan and we executed it. We deserve this so much."


The moment it was won 🔥


Selhurst Park under the lights 🔜


Crystal Palace's FA Cup win means they will play in Europe next season.

They will also face Premier League champions Liverpool in the Community Shield at the start of next season.

What a moment for the club!


Dreamland.


FA Cup WINNERS 🏆


FT: Crystal Palace 1-0 Man City

That's it! Crystal Palace have done it.

Eberechi Eze's first half goal is the difference and Oliver Glasner's side have secured the club's first ever major trophy. What a moment!


Henderson again!

Another fine save from the Palace goalkeeper! This time he denies Echeverri from close range.


SO CLOSE!

De Bruyne has a chance to level things up but his effort from the edge of the area goes wide.


Into added time!

There will be 10 additional minutes at the end of the second half.

Can Crystal Palace hold on?


10 minute klaxon 🚨

Crystal Palace are closing in their first major trophy.

A big moment for the 19-year-old!


Now Palace make a change of their own...

Mateta is off for Nketiah.

A little over 10 minutes of normal time left to play at Wembley.


Double change!

City make two substitutions. Phil Foden is on for Savinho and Claudio Echeverri replaces Omar Marmoush to make his debut for the club!


Heroic defending!

Muñoz makes a fantastic block to deny O'Reilly an equaliser. Palace are producing an outstanding defensive display!

SHOT BLOCKED!

De Bruyne has a go from the edge of the area but it's blocked by Wharton. The midfielder is now down receiving some treatment.


Yellow card!

O'Reilly is the first to go in the book for a tug on Muñoz.


It's all happening!

Fitness coaches from both clubs clash on the touchline before Palace make a change.

Guéhi is replaced by Lerma.


OFFSIDE! NO GOAL!

Sarr is deemed to be interfering with play. Still 1-0 to Palace and a huge let off for City!

VAR CHECK!

Will the goal stand? Sarr may have been in an offside position in the build-up.


GOAAAL! PALACE EXTEND THEIR LEAD!

City don't deal with a ball in the box and Muñoz forces it over the line!

Crystal Palace 2-0 Man City


Play resumes!

Tha Palace captain is okay to continue.


Pause in play.

Guéhi is down receiving treatment.


EZE GOES CLOSE!

Very nearly a second for Palace's star man but his volley is blocked in the area. That was heading in!


CHANCE!

City have started the second half well! Doku attempts to curl an effort into the far corner but can't quite find the target.


KICK OFF!

The second half is underway at Wembley.


HALF TIME: Crystal Palace 1-0 Man City

What a half! City dominated the early stages but, against the run of play, Palace stormed in front through Eze.

Guardiola's side could have equalised from the penalty spot but Henderson produced a decisive save to keep the Eagles in front.


Into added time!

Three extra minutes to be played at the end of the first half.


HENDERSON AGAIN!

The Palace goalkeeper produces another huge save to keep his side in the lead. This time it's Doku who is denied before De Bruyne sends the follow up miles over the bar.

A HUGE moment from Dean Henderson 👏


HUGE SAVE!

Marmoush steps up and can't score! Henderson saves!

PENALTY!

Stuart Attwell points to the spot as Mitchell hauls down Silva in the box. A chance for an equaliser!


VAR confirms they did not send the referee to the screen as the ball was moving away from goal and a defender was covering.

A lucky escape for Henderson?


Play on!

Relief for Crystal Palace as the referee continues play. City fans may feel aggrieved by that call!


VAR check!

Gvardiol's long ball is met by Haaland and Henderson palms it out of his path.

The check is whether it was outside of the penalty box.


Eze simply CANNOT be stopped!


Palace strike first at Wembley!


GOAAAALL!

Just like that Palace lead! First attack and Eze finishes!
