Spurs recover to beat Chelsea in the 2008 final

Tottenham beat Chelsea 2–1 after extra time in the League Cup final on 24 February 2008. Didier Drogba had put Chelsea ahead with a free-kick, but Dimitar Berbatov equalised from the penalty spot. Jonathan Woodgate then scored early in extra time to turn the match in Spurs' favour.

Tottenham's official history of their League Cup meetings with Chelsea places the win after a 5–1 home victory over Arsenal in the semi-final second leg. The two London opponents therefore belong to different stages of the same run: Arsenal in the last four and Chelsea in the final. The emphatic semi-final score should not be confused with the much narrower Wembley result.

Woodgate's rapid arrival in Spurs cup history

Woodgate joined Tottenham from Middlesbrough on 28 January 2008 and scored the final winner on 24 February. The interval was less than a month. In his later club interview, the significance of the day extends beyond the goal: it was also the first time he and Ledley King had played together.

That makes the defensive partnership a distinctive part of this final's story. Supporters may remember the winning header first, but the club's account also emphasises how the two centre-backs performed together. A new signing's early appearances can sometimes be remembered only as a settling-in period; Woodgate's included a decisive contribution to a trophy within weeks of his arrival.

Extra time, not a penalty shoot-out

The final reached extra time at 1–1, and Woodgate's goal settled the match during that additional period. Berbatov's earlier penalty was taken in normal play after a handball decision. It was not one of a series of kicks in a shoot-out, and Spurs did not need a shoot-out to win this final.

When checking a current Tottenham result, use the match card's full-time score and any separate penalty information rather than relying on a short highlights title. For the 2008 Chelsea final, the date, Woodgate winner and extra-time label identify the game clearly. New Spurs fixtures appear above with their own confirmed times and channels, so the historical account does not stand in for a current television announcement.
