Comments:

Chelsea's second goal was officially credited to Diego Costa (rather than an own goal by Kyle Walker), as confirmed by the Football League and referee Anthony Taylor. [Input amended: 25.03.2015] This was third time that Chelsea had won the League Cup under manager José Mourinho (also 2005 and 2007) and their first trophy during his second spell in charge. Chelsea opened the scoring in all six of their League Cup ties during the 2014-15 campaign. This was John Terry's 15th appearance in a cup final during his Chelsea career and the first time he had scored in one. This was the first time in their last six cup finals that Chelsea had kept a clean sheet.

Comments:

Tottenham Hotspur's 2008 League Cup Final win against Chelsea remained as their most recent major trophy success. Spurs had won both their previous cup final meetings with Chelsea (FA Cup in 1967 and League Cup in 2008). Their 5-3 win at White Hart Lane in the Premier League on New Year's Day 2015 was Tottenham's first win in their last 11 meetings with Chelsea in all competitions. This was Spurs' 19th cup game in the current season and 45th game in all competitions. Jan Vertonghen played in every minute of their League Cup games during this season. Harry Kane attended the League Cup Final in 2008 against Chelsea as a 14 year-old Spurs supporter.
