Man City Get New FA Cup Final VAR Verdict After Dean Henderson Red Card Controversy - Manchester Evening News

  • Crystal Palace defeated Manchester City 1-0 at Wembley in the FA Cup final on Saturday, with goalkeeper Dean Henderson playing a key role.
  • The victory came amid controversy when Henderson avoided a red card for a deliberate handball outside the box that denied Erling Haaland a clear scoring chance.
  • VAR officials, led by Jarred Gillett, ruled Haaland's direction was away from goal, meaning the handball did not deny an obvious goal-scoring opportunity, sparking wide disagreement from pundits and fans.
  • Prominent analysts like Wayne Rooney and Micah Richards called it a ‘100% red card,’ while Joleon Lescott described the decision as among football’s worst, and social media rapidly expressed disapproval.
  • Palace secured their first major trophy with Eberechi Eze’s decisive goal, consigning Guardiola’s City to a trophyless season and highlighting ongoing VAR controversy in high-profile matches.
