The goalie made some big saves throughout the battle in north west London.
And things looked even better when Palace took the lead through Ebere Eze.
But pundits felt Henderson was lucky to still be on the pitch when he handled the ball moments later.
A VAR review let the star off the hook by deeming he had NOT denied Erling Haaland a clear goal-scoring opportunity.
And the decision proved pivotal 10 minutes later when Henderson saved Omar Marmoush's penalty.
However, BBC commentator John Murray appeared most stunned by Henderson's halftime outfit change.
With the sun shining down on a warm spring day, Palace's goalie looked to get an advantage with a savvy addition to his kit.
As Henderson walked back onto the pitch, he could be seen wearing a black baseball capped pulled down low over his head.
And Murray was left amazed by the change, declaring live on TV: 'There's a throwback to FA Cup finals of old.'
Fans were quick to react to Henderson's outfit change.
One said: 'Hat stealing the spotlight.'
Another declared: 'Henderson styling on them.'
One noted: 'Man of the match.'
Another added: 'Signature move.'

Jack Grealish axed from Man City squad as Pep Guardiola points star to exit door
Jack Grealish is poised to be omitted from the Manchester City squad that will head to the Club World Cup as his exit edges ever closer this summer following several difficult seasons Jack Grealish is set to be left out of Manchester City 's squad for the Club World Cup as he heads closer to the Etihad exit door. The playmaker has endured a difficult campaign and is heavily linked with a summer move. The £100million signing has struggled to live up to his price tag and is by no means a regular under Pep Guardiola, who is set to deliver another telling blow. City's top stars will head to the USA for FIFA's newly expanded tournament with Grealish likely to be absent. The ex- Aston Villa man is the subject of interest from clubs in the Premier League and overseas with the 29-year-old aware he needs regular minutes if he wants to regain his England spot. City are open to Grealish's exit with loan and permanent moves possible, reports the Telegraph. Guardiola made it clear on the final day of the Premier League season that the club will work with the player and his representatives to find the best solution for all involved as Grealish continues to slip down the pecking order. City have not yet named their Club World Cup squad but the expectation is that Grealish will be a major absentee. Guardiola's side kick off the tournament on June 18 against Moroccan club Wydad AC. The Manchester outfit, after a disappointing and trophyless year, have already begun their summer rebuild and are targeting players would may further limit Grealish's game time. They pushing on with the signings of AC Milan midfielder Tijjani Reijnders and Lyon forward Rayan Cherki - and want both men in time to take to the Club World Cup. Grealish played a big part in City's treble success back in 2023, which was by far his most influential campaign, but has only started 17 times across the last two seasons with his impact declining. When quizzed about Grealish's omission from the City squad for the final game of the season Guardiola said: 'Of course, Jack has to play. He's an unbelievable player that has to play football every three days. It didn't happen this season and last season either. He needs to do it, with us or another place. 'It's a question for Jack, his agent and the club. If he stays it will be fine and he will fight like he fought from day one to make a contribution, but not today.' Guardiola also added: 'It's nothing personal with Jack. I'm the person who fought for him to come here and the person who fought for him to stay here this season. I'm the one who said I want Jack Grealish. What happens in the future is a job for Txiki [Begiristain, current director of football), Hugo [Viana, incoming director of football] and the agents.'

'Dundee's off-pitch unpredictably never fails to deliver'
Dundee's unpredictability both on and off the pitch never fails to stun the football world.'Elvis' has entered the building and his reception is far from ideal from the Dundee support. The overriding feeling is Steven Pressley's appointment doesn't inspire confidence as his record is littered with sackings, and losing more games than he has won, before a six-year hiatus from Tony Docherty was dismissed for underperforming, supporters were expecting a statement appointment or perhaps something left-field with names like Temur Ketsbaia and David Healy there is more to Pressley than meets the eye. He ticks boxes that align with the role of head coach compared to the traditional football is experienced with over 340 matches as a manager and enjoyed a successful period in his last stint in Scotland with Falkirk. He has a proven track record in youth development, notably at Falkirk, where he helped develop Murray Wallace, Jay Fulton, Lyle Taylor and Stephen recently he was in the Premier League with Brentford, developing players to fit a very good team at the elite level - working with those standards at Dundee will hold him in good reputation among the players he's coached also seems positive. and Pressley appears well respected within the industry. He emerged as the standout candidate for both John Nelms and Gordon Strachan for good head coach model might very well prove to be a masterstroke. When you reflect on previous managers, a recurring theme emerges - flawed decision-making in recruitment and squad Hartley chucked away Martin Boyle, Jim McAlister and Gary Harkins, all on frees when they all still had so much to offer. The replacements weren't near the appropriate McCann had no plan B, while his foreign imports clearly required time they did not have to adjust to the Scottish McPake allowed both Leigh Griffiths and Jason Cummings to depart during a relegation battle, while remaining fiercely loyal to players out of their Docherty couldn't balance the young squad with experienced players and left us very light up front (Simon Murray is our only contracted forward).If Strachan, David Longwell and the recruitment team can take a weight off Pressley's shoulders and allow him to focus solely on getting results on the pitch, then this model will be an interesting development to watch fans are fickle. If Pressley gets off to a winning start he will win over his doubters. While they are upset at his winning record, they're also desperate for the new head coach to mend that with is hungry and has a point to prove. The fans will be satisfied once they can see this new set-up walking the walk instead of talking the talk. In other words, a little less conversation, a little more action please.
