    Wilfried Zaha fizzes a cross too hard and too strong...

    "A wonderful run and skills from Zaha to get to the edge of the box, but like Bolasie you just don't know what you're going to get in terms of end product."

    YES. Yes. Yes. Yes...

    No, no, no, no, no...

    Wilfried Zaha beats three men on a mazy run, gets to within 30 yards and then blazes it over.

    Andrew Tarpey: Funny how Smalling's sending off may have killed Palace's game plan, forcing them on the front foot and letting United counter.

    Ben, Manchester: Brilliant tactics by Smalling; make Palace think they can win, lead them to make mistakes.

    Nathan Titus: Oh how I wish for that dull, boring LVG football now for the last few minutes.

    David de Gea needs some treatment after that collision - but he's OK. A few minutes added on maybe...

    Louis van Gaal is on the touchline now, prowling and skitting away. I don't think I've seen him up out of his seat before. 

    David de Gea comes out flying to dive at the feet of Wilfried Zaha and take man and ball. Brilliant keeping.

    "Frustration for Palace. Over the course of the game Manchester United have edged it. Alan Pardew's side get a lot of credit for spirit but United have had the chances and been the better side."

    Manchester United are five minutes away from lifting the trophy for the first time since 2004. Louis van Gaal could be heading out with a cup win.

    Or will he yet stay?

    Leslie Chu: WHAT A HIT SON!! Absolute Tekkers!

    Jack Blackburn: Classic! Our worst finisher all-season finds the net in extra-time in the final!

    Connor: If you're gonna win a cup final, it may as well be from a strike like that!

    Got to be time to send Damien Delaney up front here. If Alan Pardew doesn't want to be remembered for that dance it's now or never...

    What a volley from Jesse Lingard. Incredible really. He will do well to ever hit one better in the whole of his career.

    Mile Jedinak from 20 yards! Wide! Great hit though.

    Don't go anywhere for the next 10 minutes...

    "Jesse Lingard, what a finish! A right-foot volley, top corner, absolute class finish. It's funny, they went down to 10 men, and maybe Palace switched off.

    "Palace have nothing to lose now, they'll have to throw everything forward."

    Jesse Lingard

    And that is well hit! Antonio Valencia is given time and space to cross from the right, it's cleared out to Jesse Lingard 18 yards out and he catches it as clean as you could ever wish! Right into the top corner. An arrow.
