One noted: 'Love that, amazing, congrats Palace.' Another added: 'Nah this is class, RIP.' Crystal Palace ratings CRYSTAL PALACE secured their first ever trophy with a famous FA Cup final victory over Manchester City. The Eagles went into the match as underdogs but managed to nullify the former Treble winners with a spectacular defensive display. And at the heart of it was goalkeeper Dean Henderson, who could have been sent off for handling the ball outside the box before making the most of his reprieve. The goalkeeper went on to save a penalty from Omar Marmoush before producing a string of saves to keep Pep Guardiola's men out. Here's how SunSport's Dan King rated the Crystal Palace players on the most famous day in the club's history. 12 Pep Guardiola clashed with Henderson at full time 12 The City boss was left fuming at the result 12 Guardiola still gave it large as Henderson hugged Oliver Glasner 12 Pep waved a finger at Henderson as he walked off The tifo certainly seemed to do the trick for Palace. Oliver Glasner's men put in a monstrous defensive effort to keep City at bay, with goalkeeper Henderson putting in several big saves. But the stopper was lucky to be on the pitch after handling the ball outside his own half. He was only saved from a red card thanks to a controversial VAR check after swatting the ball away from a goal-bound Erling Haaland. And the decision proved to be pivotal as Henderson went on to save a penalty from Omar Marmoush just 10 minutes later. Pep Guardiola was left raging at full-time as he clashed with Henderson, who dedicated Palace's incredible win to his late father. And it was the goalie who had the last laugh as he joined teammates for a trophy lift they and Palace's fans will never forget.
