The '''2011 Football League Cup Final''' was the final match of the [[2010–11 Football League Cup]], the 51st season of the [[Football League Cup]], a [[association football|football]] competition for the 92 teams in the [[Premier League]] and [[the Football League]]. The match was contested by [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]] and [[Birmingham City F.C.|Birmingham City]], at [[Wembley Stadium]] in [[London]], on 27 February 2011.<ref>{{cite news |title=Carling Cup Draw Dates |url=http://www.carling.com/carlingcup/draw/ |work=Carling Cup official website |publisher=Molson Coors Brewing Company |access-date=24 January 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130720040850/http://www.carling.com/ |archive-date=20 July 2013 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Birmingham City won the game 2–1 and were guaranteed a spot in the third qualifying round of the [[2011–12 UEFA Europa League]].<ref>{{cite news |first=Kevin |last=McCarra |title=Obafemi Martins grabs glory as Birmingham beat Arsenal |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2011/feb/27/arsenal-birmingham-city-carling-cup-final |work=The Guardian|publisher=Guardian News and Media |date=27 February 2011 |access-date=28 February 2011 |location=London}}</ref> [[Mike Dean (referee)|Mike Dean]] was the referee.<ref name="referee">{{cite news|title=Officials named for Carling Cup final |url=http://www.football-league.co.uk/carlingcup/news/20110131/officials-named-for-carling-cup-final_2293330_2281129 |work=football-league.co.uk |publisher=The Football League |date=31 January 2011 |access-date=1 February 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110211225301/http://www.football-league.co.uk/carlingcup/news/20110131/officials-named-for-carling-cup-final_2293330_2281129 |archive-date=11 February 2011 }}</ref>

==Background==
Arsenal held the advantage over Birmingham in the league matches between the two sides in [[2010–11 in English football|2010–11]], having beaten them 2–1 at the [[Emirates Stadium]] in October and again 3–0 at [[St Andrew's (stadium)|St Andrew's]] on [[New Year's Day]].<ref>{{cite news |first=Sam |last=Sheringham |title=Arsenal 2–1 Birmingham |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/9085759.stm |work=BBC Sport|date=16 October 2010 |access-date=26 January 2011 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |first=Alistair |last=Magowan |title=Birmingham 0–3 Arsenal |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/9328059.stm |work=BBC Sport|date=1 January 2011 |access-date=26 January 2011 }}</ref>

Arsenal had played in six Football League Cup finals, but had only won two, most recently in [[1993 Football League Cup Final|1993]] when they beat [[Sheffield Wednesday F.C.|Sheffield Wednesday]] 2–1. Birmingham's only League Cup title came in [[1963 Football League Cup Final|1963]], when they beat [[Second City derby|local rivals]] [[Aston Villa F.C.|Aston Villa]] 3–1 on aggregate after a two-legged final. They also reached the [[2001 Football League Cup Final|2001 final]], which was played at the [[Millennium Stadium]] in [[Cardiff]] against [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]], but the 2011 final was Birmingham's first appearance in the final of a major competition at Wembley for nearly 55 years, their last being the [[1956 FA Cup Final]].

==Pre-match==
[[File:2011leaguecupfinalprematch.png|thumb|The [[Starting lineup|starting line-ups]] being announced before [[Kick-off (association football)|kick-off]]]]
In the build-up to the game, [[Arsène Wenger]] criticised the FA and UEFA for overpricing tickets for their finals. {{citation needed|date=February 2011}}

A number of Arsenal players missed out on the final. [[Thomas Vermaelen]] was not fit, while goalkeeper [[Łukasz Fabiański]] had been ruled out for the rest of the season. [[Theo Walcott]] picked up a sprained ankle in a match against Stoke City a few days prior, and captain [[Cesc Fàbregas]] was also injured in that game; both missed the final. [[Abou Diaby]] was also injured.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/arsenal/8344252/Arsenals-Theo-Walcott-ruled-out-of-Carling-Cup-final-against-Birmingham-and-Cesc-Fabregas-doubtful.html |title=Arsenal's Theo Walcott ruled out of Carling Cup final against Birmingham and Cesc Fabregas doubtful |date=23 February 2011 |work=The Daily Telegraph|access-date=17 October 2019}}</ref>

For Birmingham, [[Scott Dann]] was ruled out for the rest of the season following an injury in the League Cup semi-final, while [[James McFadden]] was still not recovered from an injury received in September. Former Arsenal player [[Alexander Hleb]] was injured in an FA Cup match the week before, and failed to recover in time to play. [[David Bentley]], who had replaced Hleb in that match, was [[cup-tied]], having played for Tottenham Hotspur in their defeat to Arsenal in the third round.

==Match==
===Summary===
[[File:Kickoff2011leaguecupfinal.png|right|thumb|The teams lining up for kick-off]]
There was a moment of contention just two minutes into the match as an early Birmingham chance was created through [[Lee Bowyer]], who appeared to be fouled by Arsenal goalkeeper [[Wojciech Szczęsny]] in what would probably have been a [[Penalty kick (association football)|penalty kick]] and red card for the keeper. However, Bowyer had already been flagged offside (a decision that replays proved was incorrect).

After ten minutes, Birmingham's [[Barry Ferguson]] was involved a collision, and played the rest of the game with what proved to be two broken ribs.<ref>{{cite news |first=John |last=Curtis |title=Barry Ferguson to play on with broken rib for Birmingham |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/barry-ferguson-to-play-on-with-broken-rib-for-birmingham-2236659.html |work=The Independent |publisher=Independent Digital News & Media |date=9 March 2011 |access-date=27 July 2019 |archive-date=27 July 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190727201513/https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/barry-ferguson-to-play-on-with-broken-rib-for-birmingham-2236659.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>

Arsenal threatened regularly throughout the course of the match, with an eventual 20 attempts on goal to Birmingham's 11 (both teams were denied by the woodwork once), however the fine work of Birmingham goalkeeper [[Ben Foster (footballer)|Ben Foster]] kept the north London team at bay. Foster would go on to win the [[man of the match]] award, and with it, the [[Alan Hardaker Trophy]] (also making Foster the first-ever player to win the trophy on two occasions).<ref name="man_of_the_match">{{cite news |title=Foster makes history at Wembley |url=http://www.football-league.co.uk/carlingcup/news/20110228/foster-makes-history-at-wembley_2293330_2304500 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120731195939/http://www.football-league.co.uk/carlingcup/news/20110228/foster-makes-history-at-wembley_2293330_2304500 |url-status=dead |archive-date=31 July 2012 |work=football-league.co.uk |publisher=The Football League |date=28 February 2011 |access-date=4 March 2011 }}</ref>

Birmingham took the lead in the 28th minute when a corner kick was sent into the box, [[Roger Johnson (footballer)|Roger Johnson]] won the initial header towards goal which was then flicked in off the head of [[Nikola Žigić]] past [[Wojciech Szczęsny]] into the net. Arsenal levelled 11 minutes later when, moments after [[Jack Wilshere]] struck the crossbar with a shot, [[Robin van Persie]] volleyed an [[Andrei Arshavin]] cross in with his right foot. However, Van Persie injured himself upon landing, and while he was initially able to continue, he struggled as the match went on and was eventually substituted by [[Nicklas Bendtner]] partway through the second half. Going into half-time the scoreline stayed at 1–1, with both teams failing to capitalise on good opportunities to score a second, including Arsenal's [[Samir Nasri]] who had a long-range effort saved, and then in the second half Birmingham's [[Keith Fahey]] was denied by the post.

On 83 minutes, Birmingham brought on [[Obafemi Martins]] in place of Fahey. Six minutes later, and in the final minute of normal time, Martins scored to put Birmingham 2–1 up after a mix-up between Szczęsny and defender [[Laurent Koscielny]]. A long ball from Blues keeper Foster, flicked on by Žigić, appeared to be heading safely into the hands of the Arsenal keeper. But Koscielny attempted to play the ball, distracting Szczęsny and causing him to bobble the ball into the path of Martins, who tapped it into an empty net.

Too little time was left for Arsenal to recover, and after four-and-a-half minutes of injury time was seen out, Birmingham City secured their second Football League Cup trophy.<ref name="BBC-McNulty"/>
