Congratulations to Crystal Palace and as a neutral in this game I believe this is a Happ ending. This season already we have seen Newcastle, Harry Kane, bologna win a title so since it is a season for first timers then it is right Crystal Palace won.
To bad city could not at least salvage their season but right now the should focus their attention now on the remaining English premier League matches and ensure they win both of them.
This final saw Pep Guardiola end a season without a trophy for the first time since 2016-17. Crystal Palace took the lead in the 16th minute when Eberechi Eze headed in Daniel Munoz’s cross. Palace played a disciplined defence throughout the match, fending off Manchester City’s attacks and winning the match.
The early goal allowed Palace to focus entirely on defence, so that early goal was crucial in this match. Manchester City dominated possession and despite their many attempts at attacking, they failed to score any goals. Crystal Palace should definitely be congratulated, they had a good season and won a trophy.
That's right, this has been the worst season for Man City under Pep Guardiola, I didn't expect them to go down this badly. A narrow win was enough for Crystal Palace to secure the FA Cup, although throughout the match we saw Man City dominate the game. I think maybe it's time for Pep Guardiola to change his strategy, which emphasizes too much ball possession, because even mediocre clubs can now easily overcome Man City attacking patterns.
Of course, Crystal Palace deserve applause for their success this season, the FA Cup has ended their long trophy drought. Pep Guardiola next task is to shift focus to the Premier League to get Man City back into the top five. It would be very disappointing if Pep Guardiola also fails to get a ticket to the Champions League next season.
