And there it is! Ledley King and Robbie Keane hoist the cup aloft and Spurs are the deserved winner of the 2008 Carling Cup! Thanks for your company...
- 126'
Spurs' turn now to climb the stairs and claim their prize - the Carling Cup. Try telling any of their fans it is a worthless trophy!
- 126'
Chelsea are trooping up Wembley's steps to get their runners up medals. Must be an unusual feeling for them I imagine.
- 126'
Robbie Keane is speechless! "Words can't describe it," he says!
- 125'
What a cup final! Spurs were certainly the superior team but Chelsea never gave up, and finished the game very strongly. However, no-one can deny Spurs their victory, and their first piece of silverware for nine years.
- 124'
ROBBIE KEANE IS PRACTICALLY CRYING!
- 124'
THE SPURS PLAYERS EMBRACE AS CHELSEA'S PLAYERS SURROUND THE REF! SPURS HAVE THROUGHLY DESERVED THEIR WIN AND THEIR PLAYERS ARE GOING NUTS IN FRONT OF THEIR DELIRIOUS FANS!
- 124'
THERE IT IS! SPURS HAVE WON THE CARLING CUP AFTER A TUMULTUOUS FINAL! JUANDE RAMOS HAS HIS FIRST TROPHY!
- 124'
Good work from Jenas! He heads for the corner and buys some time.
- 123'
Robinson comes to claim the corner and YET AGAIN doesn't get there but Mark Halsey helps him out by awarding a non-existent free kick. Spurs are on the brink!
- 122'
Drogba leaps and wins a corner! Berbatov is furious!
- 122'
This really is last chance saloon for Chelsea, as Lennon is booked for tapping the ball away as Chelsea win a free kick.
- 121'
Three extra minutes are added! More drama...
- 121'
Oh no! beletti tries an ambitious effort when he HAd to put a cross in! That could well be it!
- 120'
Corner for Chelsea! 60 seconds left!
- 119'
Two poor balls from Lampard as everyone is in the box. Its desperate stuff from Spurs.
- 118'
Didier Zokora goes to pieces when he is in an opponents half! Breaking from deep, with a host of options he fluffs a simple ball and plays it straight through to Cech. Awful.
- 117'
This is nail biting stuff! The Spurs fans are almost weeping with nerves!
- 116'
Another chance for Chelsea! Ledley King misjudges his leap and ends up flicking on for Joe Cole who can't quite get enough power behind his shot to beat Robbo!
- 115'
Drogba gets involved unneccessarily to protest at Tainio's time wasting, but all he is doing is wasting even more time!
- 114'
And of course, Spurs are wasting as much time as possible, as Tainio gets booked for delaying a throw in as long as possible.
- 113'
Spurs enjoy a brief spell of possession before Kalou wins it and the Blues pour forward again. Its like the alamo at the moment!
- 112'
Great save from Robinson! Kalou cuts inside with a lovely flick and fires one left footed but Robbo shuts his legs just in time! He's come up trumps!
- 111'
Ooh, I thought Chelsea had been awarded a penalty there but Mark Halsey gives offside before Woodgate wrestled Drogba to the ground! Lucky for the former Boro man.
- 110'
Its all hands to the pump for Spurs as you'd expect and Chelsea are trying to find a little bit of space in a penalty area crammed full with about 17 players!
