Tottenham beat Chelsea to win League Cup

Tottenham Hotspur defender Jonathan Woodgate scored the winning goal in extra-time to give the north London side a 2-1 win over west London rivals Chelsea in the League Cup final at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.

Woodgate scored in the fourth minute of extra-time after Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech's punched a clearance rebounded off the Spurs defender's head.

Chelsea, the League Cup holders, had opened the scoring in the 39th minute through a Didier Drogba free-kick

Spurs striker Dimitar Berbatov equalised in the 70th minute from the penalty spot after Chelsea full back Wayne Bridge handled in the area.
