Crystal Palace Claims Historic FA Cup Upset

Crystal Palace defeated Manchester City 1-0 at Wembley to win their first-ever FA Cup, in what is regarded as one of the most dramatic upsets in the competition's history. Eberechi Eze scored the decisive goal in the 16th minute, while goalkeeper Dean Henderson made crucial saves, including a penalty stop, amid controversy over a potential handball. Managed by Oliver Glasner, Palace's victory capped a remarkable turnaround after a poor start to the season and secured a Europa League spot next year. The triumph drew comparisons to the underdog story in 'Ted Lasso,' which was partly inspired by Palace. Celebrations broke out across south London, with the club planning a victory parade and additional festivities for fans. The defeat marked Manchester City's first season without a domestic trophy since 2017, highlighting a turbulent campaign for Pep Guardiola's side.
