Birmingham matchwinner Martins: Easiest goal I have scored

Birmingham City matchwinner Obafemi Martins was beaming after their amazing Carling Cup final victory over Arsenal.

Martins described the goal which won the Carling Cup as "the easiest of my career".

He told Sky Sports: "I think this is the easiest goal I've ever scored in my career - and it's very important.

"I'm glad I scored today and I'm glad we won. I think it was my second touch. I'm very happy.

"The gaffer (Alex McLeish) said to me that I would come on in the second half, so I think he did it right.
