as promised, sir alex stuck with the youngsters that brought united to the finals, with darren gibson, jonny evans and danny welbeck starting.started brightly, dominating possession and creating plenty of chances down the wings.
despite united's dominance, all we could do was to throw long shots at spur's defence.gibson and ronaldo wasted chances, while welbeck could have scored from scholes's brilliant long range pass.tottenham wasn't playing that bad either.
lennon was skinning evra throughout the match, modric's passing was good, assou-ekotto manage to stand his ground against ronaldo.at the stroke of full time, ronaldo has a brilliant chance to score but his shot smacked against the post.
after a dull extra time where scores were all even, it was down to penalties.
ben foster was the hero in the shootout, saving jamie o'hara's penalty and seeing david bentley's penalty wide.while giggs, tevez, ronaldo and anderson converted all the penalties for us.carling cup champions!two down, three to go.quintuple, here we come.
4 MORE DAYS TO WATCHMEN!
