The result was something else to celebrate, although this night had little to do with the actual football.
Eagles fans had celebrated loud and proud under the Wembley arch and had to do it again.
Nobody likes the fact that the cup final was not the last game of the interior season – but an evening like this is a convincing argument to have it earlier.
Palace will receive a trophy parade in South Londs on Monday, but this was a good party in place.
Fans arrived early – many still in a happy haze.

Parish, the chairman, gutste: “Saturday felt like a adulthood, the day that we announced as a ‘real football club’.”
He was flanked in the stands of Mark Bright and former boss Alan Pardew, all with radiant smiles who are still fixed in place.
Selhurst Park has long been the most atmospheric stadium in the capital, but it is rarely so colorful and united, all four sides bounce to their new ditty of “12one Again, who gives off ***? We won the FA Cup! “
The Holmesdale end ran through the songs for each of their cup heroes – with the rest of the stadium after their lead.
Red and blue balloons, as well as a few inflated FA cups, were thrown around the stands-where almost every fan had come in their colors.
Replacers were given huge ovations on their way to the Dugout before Palace was led by Ward, who wore his five -day daughter, prior to his last home game for the club.
Glasner had tried to give the players as long as possible to celebrate the triumph of Saturday – not to get them back to prepare for this until Monday afternoon.
He made seven changes, Guehi and Adam Wharton missed the weekend with concussion injuries and a few others on the couch who probably still provided painful heads for various reasons.
For the most part it was easy to forget that a game was played for everyone.
Selhurst sang around Saturday, over Glasner and their upcoming European tour.
However, there was some football to enjoy with the parties.
Wolves took the lead by Emmanuel Aggbadou, on his way after Jorgen Strand Larsen chose a corner over the goal.
Nketiah tried to erase, but could not stop the ball before it was exceeded.
The Eagles No9 more than well made up for a moment later. The goal of Wolves had not stopped the Palace Festival – but Nketiah recorded a notch.
The striker was signed by Arsenal last summer and had only one Premier League goal throughout the season for tonight, but suddenly took two in just five minutes.
Nketiah first sent Romain Esse’s cuts with a well-taken first finish before he met an Ismaila Sarr six meters out that came after typically restless work by Daniel Munoz.
There were more feel-good stories after the break.
Chilwell, a signing from January from Chelsea, scored his first in red and blue when his free kick took a heavy deflection from Aggbadou in the cloud wall and found the bottom corner.
Wolves took another back, Strand Larsen nodded unarkly from Jean-Ricner Bellegarde and Dean Henderson put another exhibition of the heroic deeds that Manchester City had refused and saved from Goncalo Guedes.
Nobody was worried whether wolves would get level or not, but Eze made sure that with a fantastic goal of the bank.
Ward, who had gathered a farewell map from the referee for a trip on Matheus Cunha, provided the most emotional moment of the night.
Replaced in the 70one Minute the Eagles fell on his knees in the middle circle and the tears could not stop and the parish could not look any of the stands.
The right back leaves after 13 years and could never have imagined that he would do this for the sound of hymns that he cancel the cup.
This was an evening of parties and said goodbye, but another who showed that Palace was going to places.
