Henderson confirms what he told Pep Guardiola after the final whistle that angered the City boss

Dean Henderson has confirmed what he told an angry Pep Guardiola after Crystal Palace beat Manchester City 1-0 in the FA Cup final.

Palace secured their first major trophy at Wembley, with Eberechi Eze's first-half goal making the difference.

Henderson saved a penalty from Omar Marmoush before half-time, along with a number of other important saves.

But City felt the Palace goalkeeper should have been sent off minutes before the penalty for denying them a clear goal-scoring opportunity.

Henderson touched the ball with his hand outside the area, deflecting it away from the attacking Erling Haaland.

But VAR judged that Haaland would have taken the ball too far from the goal and there was a defender who was in line with the Norwegian striker.

After the match, Guardiola refused to shake Henderson's hand and appeared to loudly say "this is not fair" to the Palace and England goalkeeper.

However, further footage showed comments made by Guardiola and Henderson that started the furious exchange.

In an interview with ITV's Gabriel Clarke, Henderson later confirmed that Guardiola had a problem with what he perceived as Palace's time-wasting in the second half, despite referee Stuart Attwell adding 10 minutes of added time.

Henderson stated: "I just went to shake his hand, but I certainly think he was disappointed with the waste of time."

"I said, 'You got the 10 minutes you wanted.' But yeah, I don't have any bad feelings."

"It's unbelievable. They (Palace fans) will remember this forever, as will we," Henderson added. /Telegraph/
