Palace 'Start New Chapter' After FA Cup Crowning
The Straits Times

Crystal Palace's momentous FA Cup victory over Manchester City at Wembley on May 17 was a one-in-10 shot, according to Oliver Glasner, who became the first manager in the London club's history to deliver major silverware.

LONDON -
Eberechi Eze's 16th-minute winner proved decisive as Palace, roared on by their success-starved fans, made up for two previous FA Cup final heartbreaks in 1990 and 2016.
Unlike their dominant display against Champions League quarter-finalists Aston Villa in the semi-finals, Palace had only 21 per cent possession against Pep Guardiola's City but defended incredibly to preserve the lead given to them by Eze's sweetly struck effort from a Daniel Munoz cross.
"This is what dreams are made of, for me and this club. Who thought we could do it? We've made history," said 26-year-old Eze, who was rejected by Arsenal and other clubs as a youth.
"I can't really believe it. If you play this game 10 times, we win it once and that happened today," added Glasner, who replaced Roy Hodgson 15 months ago and is the now the first Austrian coach to win the FA Cup.
