Substitute Jesse Lingard won the English FA Cup for Manchester United, scoring the vital goal at the 110th minute of extra time.
United had gone behind in the 78th minute when Jason Puncheon shot
Crystal Palace ahead. But three minutes after, United responded with a
Juan Mata goal, that benefitted with a little deflection by a Crystal
Palace defender.
Despite the setback of seeing defender Chris Smalling sent off in the
105th minute, subsitute Jesse Lingard, who replaced Mata, finished off
the job and handed the Louis Van Gaal wards their only silverware of the
season, ending three year trophy-less season.
So this guy can dance?
“It is fantastic for the fans, for the
players, for me. I have now won the title in 4 countries,” an excited
Van Gaal said at the end of the match.
For Crystal Palace, it was yet another disappointing final with no victory to show.
