There you go. A game that took a while to get going ended brilliantly. Jason Puncheon, off the bench, scored to putCrystal Palace ahead and made sure Alan Pardew left an enduring image of him dancing (terribly). Within three minutes Juan Mata had United level and his replacement, Jesse Lingard, scored the winner in extra-time with a stunning volley after Chris Smalling was sent off for a second yellow card. “This is fantastic to win this title for the club, the fans … and also for me,” Louis van Gaal says on TV. “Now I have won the cup in four countries. Not many managers can say that. I am very happy. We have deserved it I think.” It was tight and tense but they probably shaded it. Thanks so much for reading. Stay tuned from reports, analysis and reaction from Wembley. Until next time, good bye!

Jesse Lingard, man of the match, also on BBC: “It landed nicely for me, I just had to hit it sweet and I did that. As a sub you’ve always got to be ready. Thankfully I was.”
And David de Gea: “Great game, great goal. We deserve to win this final. Now we have to enjoy. It’s a long time for Manchester without this trophy. We won it, we fought for it, we have it. It’s really good moment for us to finish with the FA Cup for the fans, the club, everyone. We are really, really happy.”
Juan Mata, also on BBC: “It’s more difficult on the bench in a final but we fought until the end. We never gave up and we have our FA Cup. It’s been a tough season but we have finished with a trophy for the fans. Today is a day to enjoy. The fans have had difficult moments this year but today we can bring the trophy home.”
Wayne Rooney on BBC: “It was a great advert for the Premier League. Credit to Palace, they’ve had a tough end to the season. Our determination got us through this. I’m delighted. It’s a special moment. I’ve been unlucky in two finals – I’ll enjoy tonight for sure. Winning trophies lifts football clubs. The fans have had a few tough years. Hopefully they enjoy this and enjoy tonight.”

FULL-TIME! Crystal Palace 1-2 Manchester United

And United have won it.

The Truth About the Mythical Nigeria Vs India Football Match that Ended in 100 Goals

Image
This gives an insight into the mythical football match between India and Nigeria which allegedly led to the former being banned from football competitions over the use of magical powers on the football pitch.     Virtually everybody born before the invention of the internet must have heard the tale of a mythical football match between Nigeria and India that obviously took place in a parallel universe and somehow we got to hear the gory stories of that match. Though there are many variations of the story, every prevaricator seems to agree on a couple of facts about this fictional football match.   Each story-teller agrees that; 1. This match ended with India scoring 99 goals and Nigeria scoring just one goal. 2. Nigerians where unable to kick the ball because the football kept turning into a lion head (or something scary) to prevent them from playing the soccer ball. 3. The Indians later agreed that if Nigeria could score a goal, they wou...
