Cup Winners! United Claim A 12th Triumph


Manchester United's love affair with the FA Cup continued in dramatic style at Wembley as the Reds beat Crystal Palace 2-1 to win the competition.

Louis van Gaal's men had to come from behind after conceding a 77th-minute opener scored by Jason Puncheon and equalised swiftly through Juan Mata to take the final into extra-time.

United suffered a blow in the additional period of 30 minutes when Chris Smalling was sent off for a second bookable offence but the remaining ten men rallied to great effect and Jesse Lingard smashed in a stunning volley with 10 minutes left on the clock. It was a fitting goal to win the Cup and it triggered tremendous celebrations when referee Mark Clattenburg blew the final whistle.
