View Crystal Palace v Manchester United head to head

This was a re-run of Crystal Palace's only previous FA Cup Final appearance in 1990 when current manager Alan Pardew was a member of the Palace team. Due to delays caused by the pre-match entertainment, the game kicked-off five minutes later than scheduled at 5.35pm. For a variety of reasons, it was the third time in Manchester United's last four visits to London that the game failed to kick-off on time.

Comments:

Crystal Palace were aiming to win their first major trophy and secure European qualification for the first time in their history. They would have become the 44th different club to win the FA Cup. Palace had won six of their last seven FA Cup games against fellow Premier League sides. Manchester United's winning goal was the first time that Palace had gone behind in this season’s FA Cup campaign. The Eagles were now the fourth club to have played in more than one FA Cup Final but have yet to win the trophy.

Comments:

With their first trophy in the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era, Manchester United had now equalled Arsenal's competition record of winning the FA Cup 12 times. United were playing in their first FA Cup Final since 2007. It was their 19th FA Cup Final appearance, equalling Arsenal's competition record. Chris Smalling became the fourth player to be sent off in a FA Cup Final after Kevin Moran (Manchester United in 1985), Jose Antonio Reyes (Arsenal in 2005) and Pablo Zabaleta (Manchester City in 2013). This was manager Louis Van Gaal's last game in charge of Manchester United as he was sacked two days later. Two years and two days after his appointment, this was his first trophy success in England. He had previously won domestic cups in the Netherlands, Spain and Germany.
