Glory all over. After 119 years, and two previous final defeats, Crystal Palace’s name is finally on the cup. A 1-0 win over Manchester City has given them the first major silverware in their history, leaving their ecstatic fans to lose themselves in the moment.
Such scenes of euphoria and romance are what it’s supposed to be about. That angst the supporters felt in those final 10 minutes of stoppage time turned to joy like they’ve never known. And there was a fitting element of vintage FA Cup magic to this victory over Pep Guardiola’s side, which will, of course, go down as a great upset.
