iPod helps to win Carling Cup

Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Foster watched images of Tottenham players taking penalties on an iPod just before the shoot-out that decided Sunday's Carling Cup final.

Foster then saved Jamie O'Hara's spot-kick to help United triumph 4-1 on penalties.

"We have done a lot of research into the way each player is going to put their penalty," said Foster.

"We went into the shoot-out as well prepared as possible.

"We have had things to look at over the last couple of days and before the shoot-out, you can see me looking at an iPod with Eric Steele.

"It had actual video on it and showed where players put things."

He added: "Eric brought it when he came to the club. I have never seen anything like it. It is a fantastic tool for us."

The FA said it had no problem with the use of such technology and the laws of the game.
