Wayne Rooney's superb second-half goal won the Carling Cup final for Manchester United as they beat Aston Villa 2-1 at Wembley.
After starting as a substitute, Rooney was only on the pitch because of an injury to Michael Owen, who had levelled James Milner's fourth-minute penalty.
He was not going to let that inconvenience stop him becoming the Wembley match-winner against Aston Villa though.
And 16 minutes from time, Rooney got on the end of Antonio Valencia's cross and looped home yet another headed goal - his fifth in a row - to take his goal tally for the season to 28 and allow United to retain the trophy after a thrilling Wembley encounter Sir Alex Ferguson feared was not possible.
