Crystal Palace are the new FA Cup champions after defeating last year’s finalist Manchester City 1-0 on Saturday night
The win is Palace’s first major trophy and will see them play in the Europa League next season. For Manchester City and Pep Guardiola, the final loss represents a first trophyless season since the 2016-17 campaign.
The only goal Oliver came 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.
Manchester City dominated before the goal and continued to pile on the pressure at 1-0 down. Guardiola’s team was soon rewarded for its constant pressure when Bernardo Silva was brought down by Tyrick Mitchell in the Crystal Palace penalty area.
Marmoush stepped up to take the spot kick for Manchester City but saw his penalty brilliantly saved by Dean Henderson in the Palace goal.
As time ran out, Manchester City ran out of ideas and Crystal Palace held on to seal a historic win for the club.
