Cumbrian top-flight goalkeeper Dean Henderson reached a career milestone with his latest outing for Crystal Palace.

His involvement in the 2-2 draw with Manchester City was the Whitehaven star's 100th Premier League appearance.

Henderson reached triple figures in the eventful contest at Selhurst Park, as Palace twice led before City fought back.

The 27-year-old has totted up 100 top-flight outings with Manchester United, Sheffield United, Nottingham Forest and Manchester City.

He made 13 Premier League games for Man Utd after he progressed through the Red Devils' academy, following his move from Carlisle United's youth set-up in 2011.

A second loan spell at Sheffield United came after he helped the Blades to the Premier League, Henderson going on to play 36 times for the Bramall Lane club at the top level in 2019/20.

Another loan at Forest in the 2022/23 campaign saw Henderson make a further 18 Premier League outings.

And Saturday's showing against City was his 33rd in the Premier League for Palace, for whom he has played since 2023.

Henderson was beaten by goals from Erling Haaland and Rico Lewis as Man City fought back for a point, Daniel Munoz and Maxence Lacroix having twice put Palace in front.

The west Cumbrian keeper has been a regular in recent England squads thanks to his displays for the Eagles.

He received his second full cap under interim boss Lee Carsley during the 3-1 UEFA Nations League victory in Finland in October, which also saw Henderson make his first senior Three Lions start.

Henderson started out with Whitehaven Miners Social before joining Carlisle United's academy, the keeper going on to catch the eye of Manchester United and making the move to the Old Trafford club when he was 14.
