English Other News :: Birmingham City win 2011 Carling Cup Final

Posted on 2011-02-27 by Gooner

Obafemi Martins pounced on an Arsenal defensive mix-up to score the cup winning goal two minutes from time as Birmingham City claimed their first major silverware since 1963 by winning the Carling Cup 2-1 at Wembley.

Martins, on loan from Rubin Kazan, took advantage of a fatal communication breakdown between Gunners goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny and defender Laurent Koscielny to strike the late blow that clinched victory for Blues boss Alex McLeish and his men, sending their supporters into ecstasy.

Nikola Zigic gave Birmingham a first-half lead but Robin van Persie's spectacular volley restored parity before the interval in an enthralling Wembley final.

Congratulations to Birmingham City !
