MANCHESTER UNITED have won the FA CUP for the twelfth time as they beat Crystal Palace 2-1 after extra time. The last time that Manchester United won the cup was back in 2004.
Crystal Palace did not show much fight in the first half of normal time and
let United do all the work. But they held United’s attacks and it was 0-0 at
half time. Second half and I was hoping for Palace to jump into action but with
just the odd attack at United’s goal but palace did scored the first goal of the
match by Puncheon after 78 minutes but United quickly respond to their goal and
scored a few minutes later with a goal by Mata. United did hit the woodwork
twice in the second half but at the end of 90 minutes the scored ended 1-1.
So extra time was needed and the play picked up pace. But United’s Smalling
was sent off after 105 minutes for a second foul. So with ten men, United played
even better and United’s winner came 12 minutes left of the second half of
extra time with a goal by Lingard. It would of been nice to see Palace win the cup
for the first time but they are not up to standard just yet.
United have not had a great season and they finished fifth in the
premiership and with a total of 66 goals.
