Crystal Palace won their first ever major trophy with a surprise 1-0 win over Manchester City in the FA Cup final on Saturday, thanks to Eberechi Eze's first-half goal and Dean Henderson's penalty save.

Eze scored from Palace's very first attack in the 16th minute with a superb finish from Daniel Munoz's cross, after Jean-Philippe Mateta's brilliant hold-up play started the move.

The seven-time winners went close after the break, though Daichi Kamada and Munoz produced vital blocks and Henderson saved substitute Claudio Echeverri's deflected shot as Palace defended valiantly to secure their side's greatest victory.
