..and he delivers with a smartly struck pen that Gomes is nowhere near. United win in the most heartbreaking of circumstances for Spurs. The clean sweep is still on for Fergie's boys. Hard luck Spurs though.

Anderson is the man with the responsibility of winning it...

Nice pen - Foster goes the right way but Corluka's pen goes over his diving body.

Corluka is up now...

Giggs scores - it's in off the post and Gomes guesses correctly but it is in.
- 120'
Edwin Van der Sar looks on nervously. Which keeper will emerge victorious from this battle of wills? Pity the penalty takers though. And first up is Ryan Giggs...
- 120'
This is only the second ever shoot-out to be staged in the final of this competition. Gomes prepares for the drama to come by reclining on the Wembley turf then saluting the Spurs fans. What an unlikely hero he could become after the criticism he has endured this season. And it is going to take place at the United end of Wembley.

FULL-TIME: Penalties!! Yeah! Everyone loves a bit of penalties. Let the two sided coin marked heartache and ecstasy be flipped by friends...

Marvellous tackle from Dawson, whose weary limbs stretch defiantly to thwart Ronaldo in the penalty area.

No is the answer as Gomes takes Giggs' corner comfortably.

Surging run forwards from Bale but he runs out of options and is going up a blind alley as United crowd him out.
- 117'
Assou-Ekotto reacts quickest to a ball which Nani should have get to first. It's a throw to United though. The ball comes over towards Evra who shoots as he slips. It looks like it's going to arrow in to Gomes' goal but it's rising just too much and clears the crossbar by centimetres.
- 116'
Dawson is back and shows us he's better by knocking the ball out of play with a thumping header.
- 115'
Great save from Foster was Darren Bent looked like he would strike a descisive goal. Foster saves well with this feet and Spurs have a corner.
- 114'
Great piece of defending from Evans who anticipated Bentley's pass to Corluka and cut him off at the pass.
- 113'
Dawson has come off the pitch for some more treatment but looks likely to come back once he's sorted himself out.

Dawson is on his feet - just about. Not long left now Michael old son.
