“We have talented players, and especially with great characters and with such a togetherness, such a great work ethic, such a great environment and atmosphere, this I think is fundamental for achieving maybe impossible things,” he said. “The players, they've never lost belief in me and the coaching staff.”
Speaking of Palace's fans, who celebrated long and loud inside the stadium and were no doubt off to paint south London blue and purple, Glasner added: “Today it was Crystal Palace's day. It was the day for our fans. Maybe there will be a few headaches tomorrow.
“This is what they deserve because they always stick with us. This trophy is especially for all our fans.”
An emotional Parish said Palace's victory was great for the Cup.
“I am so proud. The team, the fans, I honestly believed that we would win. That's what Oliver's done. He made us all believe and you could see it at the end.”
