Manchester Utd v Crystal Palace 1990 FA Cup Final

Attempting to join Villa and Spurs as seven-time winners of the Cup, United faced Crystal Palace whose previous best run in the competition had seen them reach the semi-finals in 1976. But in uncharted territories, Palace held United to a 3-3 draw in the first clash before returning to Wembley to do it all again.

But who knew then, on that Thursday evening in May that it would mark one of the biggest turning points in the Club’s history, as the rest of the decade would be littered with unparalleled success. After 4 years without triumph, Alex Ferguson’s reign at the helm of the Club was looking uncertain; patience was running low, but to the eternal credit of the board, they kept faith with the ambitious Scotsman, and United got their rewards.

Unlike the first match, the replay was a tight affair, and the first half past without a goal being scored. But as the game wore on, and United began to create, Webb went down the right and hit an accurate cross that evaded the Palace defence, Lee Martin controlled and smashed the ball into the Palace net.

United continued to dominate, but were unable to add to the scoreline. Robson hit the crossbar, but 1-0 it remained. The Cup was on its way back to Old Trafford, and Bryan Robson became the first player to lift the FA Cup three times at Wembley as Captain.

It was an historic day for both the Club and Alex Ferguson. Now relive the whole match once again, with all the goals from the first match included in this special feature.
