[Saba Sports News] In the English FA Cup final, Crystal Palace defeated Manchester City 1-0 to secure their first-ever FA Cup title. After the final whistle, there was a heated exchange between Crystal Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson and Pep Guardiola. In this match, Crystal Palace goalkeeper Henderson performed excellently, making five saves throughout the game and saving Omar Marmoush’s penalty. However, in the 24th minute of the first half, Henderson handled the ball outside the penalty area, but the referee did not penalize him, causing controversy. Lip reading experts interpreted that Guardiola, after the match, approached the celebrating Henderson and said, “You don’t deserve this. That’s embarrassing.” Henderson responded by saying, “You still got your extra ten minutes,” repeating “ten minutes” three times, while Guardiola emphasized, “That’s unfair, you shouldn’t do that, unfair.” Eventually, Crystal Palace substitute goalkeeper pulled Guardiola away, and before leaving, Guardiola shook his finger at Henderson to express dissatisfaction, while Henderson smiled and held up both hands to gesture the number “10”. After the match, Henderson told reporters that the dispute with Guardiola occurred because he thought they were stalling for time; Guardiola, however, stated at a press conference that nothing happened.
