In the lead-up to Norwich's goal Sunderland defender David Corner was attempting to usher the ball out of play for a Sunderland goal kick. However, Norwich kept the ball in play and promptly scored. In November 2011 Corner looked back on the incident stating "I should have kicked the ball out" and that he doesn't "think there's a day goes by where that game isn't mentioned". He then went on to say "It was a great honour for me to be playing for my hometown club in a national final, but I have to hold my hands up and say the goal was my fault."http://www.safc.com/news/20111128/defender-corners-pre-match-talk-in_2256213_2530583 Defender Corner's pre-match talk-in 28 November 2011 Sunderland A.F.C. 10 February 2012 Norwich's victory was celebrated with an open-top bus parade.
