Play by play

What an incredible contest. Arsenal played some magic stuff, Drogba was superb, there was the sickening sight of a prone John Terry, three red cards, twelve minutes of injuy time... just incredible. English football may not be the best in the world, for sure, but it is frequently the most dramatic.
- 102'
Arsenal free-kick from forty yards out. Almunia is up... but it's headed out. And that's the final whistle! Chelsea have won the Carling Cup!
- 101'
Chelsea free-kick after a poor Fabregas tackle.
- 100'
Fabregas with the free-kick, but Chelsea get it clear.
- 99'
Kalou on for Shevchenko. There's a bit more argy-bargy on the far side.
- 98'
And a yellow for Lampard and Fabregas. Wow.
- 97'
He doesn't want to leave. He looks irate - he's bellowing at someone on the touchline.
- 97'
Adebayor has also been sent off!
- 96'
Mikel sent off - and is Toure!
- 95'
Toure has lost it! He's after Mikel. There's a lot of pushing and shoving - Mourinho and Wenger are on the pitch!
- 93'
Adebayor gets free in the box - but he's called offside.
- 93'
Kalou is getting instructions - looks like he'll be coming on.
- 92'
Arsenal free-kick after Shevchenko fouls Denilson.
- 92'
Cech gets a fist to the cross just as it seemed to be dropping onto the head of Senderos.
- 91'
Arsenal corner.
- 91'
Seven minutes added time to be played. It should be more than that.
- 90'
Ballack caught offside.
- 89'
Shevchenko pings one off the crossbar! That could have been it, right there.
- 89'
There should be plenty of injury time for Arsenal here. Terry was down for at least six-and-a-half minutes.
- 88'
Eboue booked after protesting at a Chelsea free-kick. Robben fell on the left-hand byline under Eboue's challenge and the Arsenal man felt that he had dived.
- 87'
Bridge gets the better of Walcott and Robben breaks.
- 86'
What can Arsenal conjur? They need something special now. The best player on the pitch is Fabregas. Can he do it?
- 85'
Great finish, that. The likelihood is that will win this final. It's a shame because Arsenal have played all the football but it did seem inevitable after their opponents somehow survived level until half-time.
- 84'
Droga scores for Chelsea! A fine header into the corner of the goal from a fine Robben cross.
- 83'
Poor touch by Shevchenko mars a decent Chelsea chance. Arsenal harry the Blues back up the pitch.
