In the legendary London "Wembley" stadium - victorious chants of "Liverpool" fans. Kenny Dalglish's protégés defeated "Cardiff" after a dramatic 120-minute battle and a penalty shootout to win the English league trophy.

The main game ended in a draw 1-1. In the middle of extra time, Liverpool's eleven broke through and it seemed that there would be no need for a football lottery, but just before the final whistle, Ben Turner restored balance.

Success accompanied the 'reds' in the penalty shootout - although Steven Gerrard and Charlie Adam missed the first two attempts, Stewart Downing, Dirk Kuyt, and Glen Johnson did not make mistakes, and the final shot of Welsh club footballer Anthony Gerrard - opponent team goalkeeper Steven's half-brother - that could have leveled the score, was inaccurate.

This is the first trophy won by "Liverpool" in the last six years, guaranteeing a place in the next season's UEFA Europa League tournament.
