LONDON: Ben Foster kept Manchester United’s bid for an unprecedented five trophies on track with a Man-of-the-Match performance in a penalty shoot-out win over Tottenham in the League Cup final here on Sunday. The England goalkeeper produced two crucial saves to deny Tottenham victory in open play before pulling off a superb stop to keep out Jamie O’Hara’s opening penalty for the visitor. That handed United the edge and, after David Bentley had sent Spurs’ third spot-kick wide, Brazilian midfielder Anderson coolly converted to ensure United won the shoot-out 4-1 and lifted the trophy for only the third time in the club’s history. Having already bagged the World Club championship in December, Sir Alex Ferguson’s side now has a chance to emulate the great Celtic side of 1967 by completing a domestic treble as well as bringing home the European Cup. The results: English Premier League: Aston Villa 2 (Petrov 45, Carew 79) drew with Stoke 2 (Shawcross 88, Whelan 90+1)
