Tottenham Wins in Extra Time!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Unbelievable!!!!!!!!

Jonathan Woodgate headed home an extra-time winner as Tottenham deservedly triumphed in the Carling Cup final against Chelsea.
The centre-back was first to reach a Jermaine Jenas free-kick in the 94th minute, with Petr Cech saving his initial effort before the ball rebounded straight back off the former Middlesbrough player and into the back of the net.
Spurs were much the brighter in the opening half, but fell behind when Didier Drogba deceived Paul Robinson with a low free-kick from outside the box in the 39th minute.
Juande Ramos' men continued to battle after the break and were handed the chance to level 20 minutes from time when the assistant referee ruled Wayne Bridge had handled Aaron Lennon's cross in the box under pressure from Tom Huddlestone.
Dimitar Berbatov stepped up to send Cech the wrong way and the match into extra-time, with Woodgate then securing Spurs' first trophy since they lifted the League Cup back in 1999 and a place in next season's Uefa Cup.
