Jose Reina was Liverpool's penalty hero as the Reds won the most thrilling FA Cup final of recent times against a brave West Ham 3-1 on penalties at the Millennium Stadium.

An own goal from Jamie Carragher and Dean Ashton's toe-poke saw the Hammers take advantage of a slipshod first-half display from goalkeeper Reina, although Djibril Cisse's fine volley brought Liverpool back into the game before half-time.
