United won the coin toss and selected the penalties to be taken at the end where their fans were situated, and also took the first penalty. Ryan Giggs scored the first – though only just – hitting in off the upright. Spurs' Jamie O'Hara saw his penalty saved by Foster. Carlos Tevez scored his penalty to give United a 2–0 lead, followed by a successful penalty from Vedran Ćorluka for Spurs. Cristiano Ronaldo then slotted his penalty home, past Heurelho Gomes before David Bentley sent his penalty wide of the goal. This left Anderson to score the winning penalty, which he duly did and United won their third League Cup Final. Ben Foster won the Man of the Match award – the first goalkeeper since Liverpool's Jerzy Dudek in 2003 to win the award.
