Dean Henderson gives verdict on controversial FA Cup final decision after he avoided being sent off against Man City

Dean Henderson dedicated Crystal Palace’s first major trophy in their history to his late father after tempers flared with Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola at the end of a pulsating FA Cup final.

Eberechi Eze was the goalscoring hero in the 1-0 win at Wembley but Henderson’s stellar performance – not least saving Omar Marmoush’s first-half penalty – stole the show.

City insisted that Henderson should have been sent off for denying a goalscoring opportunity when handling outside his box, while Guardiola was left frustrated by Palace time-wasting.
