English rivals, Chelsea and Arsenal, battled for the Carling Cup final this past Sunday. Three players were sent off as Chelsea came from behind to win 2-1 and lift the Carling Cup for the second time in three years. However, Chelsea captain, John Terry, was not around to lift the trophy after being taken to the hospital following a sickening kick to the head. He was knocked out cold as Abou Diaby kicked him in the face as the two players challenged for a ball in the Arsenal box. Terry swallowed his tongue during the incident and had to be carried off the pitch on a stretcher with an oxygen mask to help him breath. The injury overshadowed an amazing game as Didier Drogba netted two goals for Chelsea to gain the victory.
