Pep Guardiola furiously confronted Dean Henderson moments after the final whistle as Crystal Palace beat Manchester City in the FA Cup final.
Henderson played a vital role in helping Palace secure their first ever piece of major silverware, keeping out Omar Marmoush’s penalty after Eberechi Eze’s opener.
The former Manchester United goalkeeper was in the spotlight earlier on in the first-half, appearing to handle the ball outside his box with Erling Haaland bearing down on goal.
No action was taken against the goalkeeper, a decision that bewildered pundits and enraged City.
Henderson went onto make more vital saves in the second-half with Guardiola making a beeline for the Palace star as soon as the game was finished.
