A superb volley in extra time by substitute Jesse Lingard secured 10-man Manchester United a 2-1 win over Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final, denying Australia and Palace skipper Mile Jedinak the chance to lift the famous trophy.
United fell behind to substitute Jason Puncheon's 78th-minute strike, but Juan Mata levelled within 180 seconds to take the game to extra time.
Chris Smalling - earlier embroiled in controversy after hauling back a goal-bound Connor Wickham - saw red just before the end of the first additional 15 minutes after a foul on Yannick Bolasie, but substitute Lingard proved the Reds hero as they etched their name on the famous trophy for a record-equalling 12th time and first since 2004, casting aside pre-match speculation that Louis van Gaal is to be replaced by Jose Mourinho.
