A delighted Oliver Glasner hailed Crystal Palace giving fans “a moment for their life” after Saturday’s historic 1-0 FA Cup win over Manchester City that gave the 119-year-old club a first major trophy, while Pep Guardiola refused to address the controversy over a potential red card for Dean Henderson.
Eberechi Eze’s 16th-minute volley proved Palace’s winner as Glasner’s side sealed the triumph by seeing out 10 minutes of added time at Wembley, leaving the manager delighted. He said: “As football players or managers our biggest achievement is to give the fans a moment for their lives. We had a difficult start to the season [winning none of the first eight league games] – in difficult moments you need someone who hugs, not kicks you, so this is for the fans. The connection with the Crystal Palace players will stay for ever.”
