Crystal Palace etched their name in the history books on Saturday, May 17, 2025, by defeating Manchester City 1-0 to win their first-ever FA Cup title at Wembley Stadium.

Manchester City were handed a lifeline in the 36th minute after Tyrick Mitchell fouled Bernardo Silva inside the box. But goalkeeper Dean Henderson rose to the occasion, diving low to deny Omar Marmoush from the penalty spot and keeping Palace in front.

Henderson’s heroics continued throughout the game as he made several key saves, frustrating the reigning Premier League champions and sealing the win for Oliver Glasner’s side.

The triumph marks a historic moment for Crystal Palace, who not only lifted the prestigious trophy for the first time in the club’s 120-year history but also secured qualification for the UEFA Europa League next season.

For Manchester City, the loss caps off a rare trophyless season, despite their dominance in domestic football over recent years. Wembley erupted in celebration at the final whistle, as Palace fans rejoiced in a long-awaited dream finally come true.
