Crystal Palace has secured its first ever trophy following its win over Manchester City in the FA Cup final on Saturday night.
The South London club defeated Man City 1-0 at Wembley on Saturday, May 17, 2025.
Eberechi Eze put his side 1-0 up with the game’s only goal in the 16th minute.
Man City were given a chance to equalise when they were awarded a penalty in the 33rd minute, but Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson saved Omar Marmoush’s spot kick.
It briefly seemed the south London team had gone 2-0 up after a 58th-minute strike from Daniel Munoz but the goal was quickly ruled offside.
Oliver Glasner’s team were the underdogs despite Manchester City having had a difficult season in the Premier League.
The silverware is their first since the Full Members’ Cup – also at Wembley in 1990/91 – and the very first major trophy in our 164-year existence.
The win means they have automatically qualified for the league phase of next season’s UEFA Europa League.
