Oliver Glasner’s side made history as the result also sealed a place in next season’s Europa League.

And Henderson, who paid a tearful tribute to his dad later on, was then embroiled in a post-match bust-up with City boss Pep Guardiola.

However, nothing could stop Palace from celebrating their win.

The party started at full-time as jubilant players collected their gold medals from Prince William before holding the FA Cup trophy aloft.

But there was one notable absence on the famous Wembley steps.
