Chelsea Wins Carling Cup

Chelsea Defeated Liverpool In Extra Time With A 3 - 2 Win.
Jose Mourinho endured a controversial afternoon as he clinched his first piece of silverware with Chelsea after a 3-2 extra-time victory over Liverpool at the Millennium Stadium.
This time around, Mourinho, who was earlier warned for berating Liverpool players, was censured for seemingly inciting their fans by putting a finger to his lips after their late equaliser.
That came 12 minutes from time when Steven Gerrard, the one player Mourinho had failed to sign last summer, inadvertently headed the Blues back into contention with an own goal to equalise John Arne Riise's early strike.
Mourinho was immediately sent off and let himself and his club down in the process. What is more, he missed a fantastic finale.
For with Drogba and Kezman on target from close range, Chelsea completed a remarkable recovery and not even a late goal by Antonio Nunez was enough to halt them.
