Alex Ferguson’s Red Devils beat Tottenham Hotspur 4-1 on penalties to win their first domestic silverware, following their success in the Club World Cup against South American champions Liga de Quito back in December.
After an intriguing opening, the highly anticipated fixture petered out into extra time as Spurs sat back and soaked up a flurry of attacks from Manchester United.
By the time penalties came around, the outcome seemed less lottery and more destiny as the premier league leaders once again got a result even whilst not playing their best football.
All eyes will now turn to a crucial fortnight of football in the league; any points dropped by Chelsea or Liverpool would surely turn the “three horse race” into a “one horse cruise” until the end of May.
