Cardiff beat Crystal Palace to reach League Cup final

Cardiff City are through to the League Cup final after beating Crystal Palace on penalties.

City keeper Tom Heaton saved Palace's first two spot-kicks to secure his team a place at Wembley.

Cardiff City's Wembley run

• 2008 FA Cup final: Cardiff 0-1 Portsmouth

• 2010 Play-off final: Blackpool 3-2 Cardiff

• 2012 Carling Cup final: Cardiff v Man City/Liverpool

The Welsh team trailed 1-0 from the first leg but were soon level after Palace's Anthony Gardner scored an own goal.

They'll now play either Liverpool or Manchester City in the final on 26 February.

Crystal Palace did well to take the game to penalties as they had to play some of the game with only ten men after captain Patrick McCarthy was sent off.

Cardiff piled on the pressure and even hit the woodwork three times.

This will be the first time Cardiff have made it to the League Cup final and it'll be the teams third major Wembley final in five years.
