Crystal Palace v Man City LIVE: FA Cup final result and reaction

Pep Guardiola is speaking to BBC after the match.

“We didn’t score so congratulations to Crystal Palace for the victory – we did everything,” he says.

“Today, we were more aggressive. If you’re not going to score goals, you’re not going to win,” he adds.

On VAR decision to not send Dean Henderson off: “Ask the referee.”

On clashing with Dean Henderson post match: “No, nothing.”

On Erling Haaland giving Omar Marmoush the penalty: “I don’t know, I didn’t speak to them. They made a decision. They decide.”

On Man City’s performance, he adds: “They performed really well, much better than last season against Man Utd.

“Football sometimes is like this. At the end with Claudio Echeverri, we created a chance.

“We controlled really good in transitions.

“Yes, unfortunately we couldn’t win, but congratulations Crystal Palace.”

It seems inconsequential now, but both of these sides have upcoming Premier League games too.

Palace are in 12th currently, and they face Wolves at 8pm on Tuesday, 20 May.

City have more to do with two games left, and they must draw at least against Bournemouth in order to move back into the Champions League qualification places.

That match also takes place at 8pm BST on 20 May, at the Etihad.

Eberechi Eze scored the winning goal with Palace’s first attack of the game, catching Pep Guardiola’s dominant side on the counter.

Dean Henderson was fortunate to stay on the pitch after handling the ball outside the box to deny Erling Haaland.

And Palace held on to claim a historic victory at Wembley. Here are how the players rated.

More from Dean Henderson here.

“It’s incredible, [I’m] so tired, so proud of everyone. We deserve this so much. Just so delighted to get over the line, [it] seemed like we were out there for 24 hours,” he says.

“I didn’t know it was for me, the ball came into the box, I wasn’t sure, I asked Chilly if it was me, and he said yes, but who cares? It doesn’t matter. I’m not bothered.

“I saved a penalty down there a few years ago for Shrewsbury, I was confident. You’ve just got to stay focused, [they’re] such a good team, they had 10 mins added on, but we dug in.

“I just went to shake his [Guardiola’s] hand, but he was disappointed by the time wasting, but no hard feelings,” he adds on the reaction he got from the City manager.

Palace’s players are shaking hands with Prince William as they collect their winners’ medals. Plenty of cheers as Eze collects his medal.

Another quick interview from Eze just before the Palace players walk up the steps to collect their trophy.

“I don’t even know what to say. Only God could do this. We’ve come here three times as a club, facing a team that’s been the best in the world for how long, so to show that spirit…

“I just couldn’t breathe, they keep the ball so well, you have got to work so hard to get anything from them.

“But when you get up there into the box, you’ve got to make it count,” he adds.

On being rejected from clubs when he was younger: “I forget about it, but you guys keep reminding me about it! To be in this position now is special, it’s hard to use the right words.”
