Pardew: Forgive me for my FA Cup final dance

The Crystal Palace boss could not hide his delight after watching his side open the scoring at Wembley yesterday.

CRYSTAL PALACE MANAGER Alan Pardew celebrated Jason Puncheon’s opener in the FA Cup final against Manchester United with some dance moves you might see your uncle try at a family wedding.

United emerged triumphant 2-1 after extra-time on Saturday but Pardew provided a moment that will live long in the memory of fans far and wide as he did a little jig on the sidelines as Puncheon gave Palace a 78th-minute lead at Wembley.

“I enjoyed that moment! In a cup final and as a manager it’s difficult to enjoy moments,” Pardew told reporters afterwards.

If you forgive me for my dance, it’s just because I enjoyed it.”

United, though, had the last laugh as Juan Mata equalised three minutes later before substitute Jesse Lingard sealed the victory with a 110th-minute thunderbolt.
