Manchester United scored a come-from-behind 2-1 victory over Aston Villa at Wembley yesterday to win the Caling Cup final.
Wayne Rooney’s superb second-half goal won the cup for Manchester United.
Rooney, on as a substitute for the injured Michael Owen, powered a magnificent header past Brad Friedel from 10-yards out with the scores locked at 1-all and 16 minutes remaining.
That caped a fine comeback from the Premier League champions, who recovered from the shock of going behind inside five minutes.
James Milner scored from the spot after Nemanja Vidic hauled down Gabriel Agbonlahor inside the United box.
United were level after 13 minutes when Dimitar Berbatov dispossessed Richard Dunne before racing into the Villa box.
