Jonathan Woodgate's extra-time header settled a pulsating League Cup final on Sunday as Tottenham came from behind to beat Chelsea 2-1 and claim their first trophy in nine years.
It was a thoroughly deserved triumph for the Tottenham coach Juande Ramos, just four months after his arrival from Sevilla, with Spurs having continually taken the game to opponents who ultimately paid the price of their own caution.
Didier Drogba's first-half free-kick had put the holders on track to retain their trophy.
But a penalty equaliser from Dimitar Berbatov -- after Wayne Bridge handled in the area -- sent the match into extra-time and Spurs, who might easily have wrapped things up inside 90 minutes, finally got the break they deserved in the third minute of extra time.
Jermaine Jenas bent in a free-kick from deep on the left and Woodgate got in behind the Chelsea defence to glance a header goalwards.
Goalkeeper Petr Cech still managed to get a punch on the ball but Woodgate was so close that it rebounded off his head and into the net.
For Woodgate, it was his first goal in two years.
"I don't believe it. I don't usually go up for corners but I just managed to get my head to it," said Woodgate.
"I think we deserved it. We were the best team on the day and we knocked the ball about against a team who are very resilient."
Chelsea could count themselves unfortunate to be denied a penalty in the second period of extra-time when Woodgate appeared to man-handle Drogba in the box and Paul Robinson had to produce a superb save with his legs to deny substitute Salomon Kalou an equaliser.
But overall Chelsea boss Avram Grant could have few complaints about his failure to emulate his predecessor Jose Mourinho's 2005 and 2007 triumphs in this tournament.
The Israeli reflected: "Up to midway through the second half Tottenham weren't in the match. We were dominating and they were powerless.
"After that they had that penalty which wasn't a penalty. The referee shouldn't have blown his whistle.
"The referee also handled very badly the extra time, stopping play all the time. And then he blew the final whistle just when we were in the middle of an attack. It's a harsh loss. I'm very disappointed and the players are too."
Tottenham's hopes of containing a Chelsea forward line in which Drogba started alongside Nicolas Anelka for the first time had been bolstered by the return of King to their defence, the injury-plagued club captain having been declared fit to make his first appearance since the 5-1 demolition of Arsenal in last month's semifinal second leg.
King was to prove a hugely influential figure over the two hours but it was the Chelsea back four that found itself under pressure in an opening half hour in which Tottenham spurned several good chances to take the lead.
After Pascal Chimbonda had headed Aaron Lennon's corner onto the top of the crossbar, Berbatov squeezed between Terry and Ricardo Carvalho to get on the end of Keane's cross from the left only to glance his header wide of Cech's left-hand post.
The Chelsea goalkeeper then produced the first of what was to be a series of fine saves, diving low to his right to keep out a drive from Steed Malbranque.
Not until 28 minutes had elapsed did Chelsea manage to muster a shot on goal and Frank Lampard's wayward effort from 25 yards did little to justify his selection ahead of Michael Ballack.
It was however a sign that the holders were about to click into gear and, having defended two free-kicks on the edge of their area, Spurs found themselves behind after Didier Zokora crudely interrupted Drogba's progress towards the box.
The body check earned Zokora a yellow card and Drogba ensured his international teammate was further punished by placing the free-kick around the edge of a poorly aligned wall and just inside Robinson's left-hand post.
With the game entering its final half hour, Ramos gambled on a switch to a three-man defence, introducing Tom Huddlestone to his midfield and withdrawing Chimbonda.
It was a decision that prompted the disgruntled left-back to head straight for the changing rooms but the Tottenham manager's judgement was vindicated when Huddlestone popped up in the box to collect Lennon's cross from the left with 20 minutes left.
As Bridge attempted to close him down, the Chelsea defender twice handled the ball and, after consulting his assistant, referee Mark Halsey pointed to the spot, from where Berbatov sent Cech the wrong way to equalise.
Spurs had the best chance to claim a winner inside 90 minutes.
With ten minutes left, Keane sent Zokora clear but the midfielder saw his first shot blocked by the head of the outrushing Cech and then blasted the loose ball over the bar.
Cech was left looking dazed but he was still alert enough to produce another fine block to deny Berbatov and send the match into extra-time.
