Spurs game from behind to beat Chelsea in extra time and win the Carling Cup at Wembley.
Jonathon Woodgate scored the winner three minutes into extra time.
Jermaine Jenas whipped in a free kick from the left, and Petr Cech could only punch the ball onto Woodgate's head and into the net.
Chelsea had taken the lead against the run of play in the first half, the returning Didier Drogba smashing a free kick past the poorly positioned Paul Robinson in the Tottenham goal.
But Spurs looked the better side throughout and deservedly equalised with 20 minutes left.
Wayne Bridge handled in the box and Dimitar Berbatov kept his cool, giving Cech the eyes and sending the ball into the bottom left hand corner.
After Woodgate's first goal for the club early in extra time, the England man and the returning, inspirational Spurs captain Ledly King stood firm to hold off Chelsea and seal Tottenham's first trophy for nearly a decade.
