Aston Villa 1-2 Manchester United: Excited fans of the club from Birmingham arrive at a wet Wembley Stadium for this season's Carling Cup final
Inside the ground, many Manchester United fans wear green and yellow as they continue their protest against the club's current owners
Gabriel Agbonlahor makes an early break down the left and makes it into the box where he is bundled down by Nemanja Vidic allowing James Milner to give Villa a fifth-minute lead from the penalty spot
Sadly for them they see their opponents equalise seven minutes later when Richard Dunne's tackle on Dimitar Berbatov sends the ball into the path of Michael Owen who strokes the ball home in clinical fashion
With the Red Devils gradually getting the better of things they lose Owen to injury just before the interval but are able to replace him with top scorer Wayne Rooney
The first decent chance of the second half falls to Michael Carrick but he sees Villa goalkeeper Brad Friedel pull off a fine save to deny him
Rooney also looks to test his opponents' defence but finds Dunne and his colleagues on hand to frustrate him as he looks for his 28th goal of the season
He finally makes the breakthrough in the 74th minute when he expertly guides a header, from Antonio Valencia's cross, beyond Friedel
Having seen another Rooney header hit the post, Villa push players forward in an effort to find a late equaliser but it does not materialise
