Ben Foster thanks iPod aid in Carling Cup glory

From razor-sharp reflexes to extraordinary courage, Ben Foster has been able to rely on some impressive qualities during his rise to prominence with Manchester United, but even he must have doubted the ability to squint at a tiny iPod video screen would ever come in handy.

United goalkeeper Foster was the hero of his club's League Cup final victory over Tottenham at Wembley on Sunday thanks to two fine saves during the match and another even more important intervention in the penalty shoot-out.

In the final moments before the shoot-out Foster could be seen intensely studying the iPod with Steele. It was time well spent.

"Me and Eric Steele looked at a little iPod before the penalties were taken. It had a video of their penalty takers," Foster said.

"It's a new one for us. When Eric came to the club I'd never seen anything like it before. I don't think any of us had. It's a fantastic tool for us."
