Manchester United FC wins FA Cup 2016


Jesse Lingard struck a stunning extra-time winner as 10-man Manchester United came from behind to beat Crystal Palace 2-1 in the FA Cup final. Palace were on course for a shock victory after local hero and substitute Jason Puncheon fired them ahead with just 12 minutes remaining but Wayne Rooney set up an immediate Juan Mata equaliser. United lost defender Chris Smalling in extra time after he hauled back Yannick Bolasie to incur a second booking but United snatched victory with a fine volley from substitute Lingard after 110 minutes. Defeat was harsh on valiant Palace, who were frustrated by a series of decisions by referee Mark Clattenburg in the first half and fought to the end.
