Wayne Rooney celebrate scoring the winner at Wembley

"Once again United's hero was Wayne Rooney who came off the bench to head a sublime winner over Villa goalkeeper Brad Friedel to seal the 2-1 victory. That goal sealed winning bets for those who took a high price of [4.0] about the holders winning in 90 minutes."

Manchester United are Carling Cup champions for the second year in succession after a come-from-behind Wembley win over Aston Villa.

Once again the hero was Wayne Rooney who came off the bench to head a sublime winner over Villa goalkeeper Brad Friedel to seal the 2-1 victory. That goal sealed winning bets for those who took a high price of [4.0] about the holders winning in 90 minutes.

Villa took a surprise lead when James Milner - backed at a high of [19.5] to open the scoring - slotted from the penalty spot. Nemanja Vidic could have been sent off for the challenge on Gabriel Agbonlahor but referee Phil Dowd did not book the Serbian until the second half, much to the annoyance of the Villa fans.

Michael Owen, a surprise starter in place of Rooney, equalised soon after but was removed after pulling his hamstring.

But that only brought Rooney on and the England man took his chance to add another headline in an exceptional season that shows no signs of letting up.
