Crystal Palace won the first major trophy in the club’s history with a 1-0 victory against Manchester City in the FA Cup final at Wembley.
Eberechi Eze was Palace’s match winner when he rounded up a counter-attack by poking home Daniel Munoz’s cross after 16 minutes.
City, meanwhile, endured a day of total frustration as they failed to win a trophy in a season for the first time since Pep Guardiola’s first season in charge in 2016-17.
They were furious when Palace keeper, Dean Henderson was not given his marching orders when he handled the ball outside his area under pressure from Erling Haaland in the first half.
The video assistant referee (VAR) ruled that City’s striker was moving away from goal and therefore not denied a clear opportunity.
He then saved Omar Marmoush’s penalty after 36 minutes following Tyrick Mitchell’s foul on Bernardo Silva in the area.
Erling Haaland stepped aside from spot-kick duties after failing to convert three of his past seven attempts.
City dominated possession in the game but Oliver Glasner’s side defended with all they had, with Henderson outstanding, saving from Haaland, Josko Gvardiol and Jeremy Doku in the first half, then denying Claudio Echeverri after the break.
The final whistle sparked scenes of ecstasy among Palace fans as the long wait for success was over for the Eagles.
