During the closing credits of the show's season finale, "Saturday Night Live" cast member Ego Nwodim wore a Crystal Palace shirt with the name of her cousin, Palace player Eberechi Eze, on the back after he led the team to FA Cup glory.

Eberechi Eze’s goal and Dean Henderson’s penalty save earned the Eagles victory at Wembley for their first major trophy

Crystal Palace have won the FA Cup for the first time in their history. Eberechi Eze scored the game’s only goal at Wembley against seven-time winners Manchester City while Dean Henderson saved a penalty from Omar Marmoush.

Eberechi Eze was on Arsenal's books before they released him at the age of 13, and now the Crystal Palace star is out to prove them wrong on the biggest stage in English football

England team-mates Ivan Toney and Trevoh Chalobah – who was recalled from his season-long loan spell at Selhurst Park by Chelsea in January – both responded to commend Eze’s display at Wembley. Toney simply said; “smoothie” to Eze, while Chalobah added: “Thou shall not pass”.
