Crystal Palace FA Cup hero Dean Henderson has revealed he was told on the morning of his team’s famous win that he would save a penalty.
Palace keeper Henderson became the fourth in history to save a spot-kick in an FA Cup final, diving to his right in the first half to repel Omar Marmoush’s strike.
Henderson was perhaps lucky to still be on the field having handled the ball outside his area earlier in the game as City striker Erling Haaland ran through.
But afterwards the England international revealed that Remi Matthews, one of the club’s reserve goalkeepers, had a premonition at the team hotel yesterday morning.
