#2 Alan Pardew shows off his dancing skills
The biggest of games and Wembley stadium can bring out the best in people. Sometimes, it makes players go over the edge and push themselves into heroics while in some cases, it brings out a side of folk you never knew was possibly there.
Alan Pardew seemed to get a few things right as on the night as he celebrated the opening goal of the game, which he could’ve mistaken as the winner, considering how late the goal came into the game, by doing a little dance in front of the Palace faithful.
Pardew’s little jig became a talking point of a game where he ended up stifling Manchester United for most of it and made the audience feel claustrophobic for the rest with memories of his dance which was also probably his worst possible response to Liverpool’s Daniel Sturridge’s poor er flailing of arms.
Imagine you’re Jason Puncheon and you’ve just scored the opening goal and wheeled off in celebration only to see your manager jump into a hideous dance. You’d probably be forgiven for losing your bearings and thinking of the dance all game instead of making more of the lead you just managed to create.
Not a surprise that the Leveler came within minutes of the opener and the Pardew point of passion.
