Manchester United 2 Aston Villa 1

Carling Cup Final, Wembley 28/02/2010

Manchester United retaining the Carling Cup with a 2 -1 victory at Wembley on Sunday afternoon. United were forced to come from behind after Villa were awarded a penalty after just 3 minutes when Vidic pulled down Agbonlahor.

Milner kept his nerve with the penalty sending the Manchester United keeper Kuszczak the wrong way.

Manchester United fought back and were soon level when Michael Owen equalised with a fantastic strike. Unfortunately, Owen pulled up with a hamstring injury before half time and was replaced by substitute Wayne Rooney.

In the second half, Manchester United took control of the match and once again Wayne Rooney proved the match winner with a superb header from an Antonio Valencia cross.

Valencia was named 'Man of the Match'.
