Ghana international Jeffrey Schlupp has been awarded an FA Cup winner’s medal following Crystal Palace’s sensational victory in the final on Saturday, despite spending the latter half of the season on loan at Celtic.
The versatile midfielder played a part in Palace’s cup run earlier in the season, featuring in their third-round victory over Stockport County—his sole appearance in the competition before securing a loan move to Scotland, where he went on to win the Scottish Premiership title with Celtic.
Schlupp, who made history with Leicester City during their Premier League-winning campaign, added another accolade to his career and took to Instagram Stories to celebrate receiving the medal from Palace’s historic cup win.
Crystal Palace stunned the football world on Saturday, defeating defending champions Manchester City to lift their first-ever major trophy.
Midfield maestro Eberechi Eze scored the only goal of the match in the 16th minute, finishing off a pinpoint cross from Daniel Muñoz. City had a chance to level the score late in the game, but Omar Marmoush failed to convert a penalty, sealing a memorable win for the South London side.
Schlupp’s future remains uncertain, with just one month remaining on his contract at Selhurst Park after eight seasonswith the Eagles.
