Foster gives thanks to Pod

BEN FOSTER watched videos of Tottenham players taking penalties immediately before the shoot-out which ended with Manchester United maintaining their quintuple quest at Wembley.

As Alex Ferguson decided which players were going to take spot-kicks, Foster was looking at an iPod with goalkeeping coach Eric Steele.

The novel approach worked a treat as Foster saved Jamie O’Hara’s penalty before David Bentley fired wide, allowing Anderson to step up and win the cup after the two sides had failed to find the net in 120 minutes.
