Dean Henderson has revealed what he said to Pep Guardiola that led to a heated confrontation between the pair during the FA Cup final between Crystal Palace and Manchester City on Saturday, 17 May. The goalkeeper avoided a red card after he handled outside the box with Erling Haaland storming towards goal.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola had a brief but tense exchange with Crystal Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson after Saturday’s FA Cup Final clash.

VAR review: A handball offense is judged by the position of the ball when it's touched by the hand, so even though Henderson was stood inside the area, he touched the ball when it was outside. The assistant didn't spot that the ball was outside the area, so there was no free kick given -- and the VAR cannot intervene just on this basis alone.
