John Terry just rolled back the years to lift yet another cup in a long illustrious career as he added the Capital One Cup to his arsenal of trophies.
The Chelsea skipper picked up his 15th major trophy for the SW6 side after first putting his side 1-0 up against Spurs in the Capital One Cup final and then marshalling them to a 2-0 victory over their deadly north London rivals, with an own goal for Kyle Walker adding insult to injury.
This was the 34-year-old's third League Cup victory with the added bonus of it being a revenge for their 2-1 fear eat at the hands of Spurs in the 2008 encounter.
The main talking point of the game before kick-off was the inclusion of Kurt Zouma and Garry Cahill alongside skipper John Terry.
Zouma looked to have got the nod to play in the defensive midfield berth vacated by the suspended Nemanja Matic with Cahill operating in his usual centre-back role.
The Blues made the better of the start, with Eden Hazard and Diego Costa making probing runs into the heart of the Sours defence.
Following a series of quick corners, Chelsea almost took the lead on eight minutes, when Branislav Ivanovic put in a bullet header at the far post from a Cesc Fabgrgas corner. Unfortunately, the ball hit the side netting.
Spurs first attack came a minute latter from a free kick by Christen Eriksen which beat Petr Cech but rattled the crossbar instead.
Harry Kane was next up when Spurs countered quickly, but his right footer, while on target was easy for Cech to smother.
Spurs entered a good period of possession around the 20 minute mark with Chelsea doing well to repel their north London rival when they reached the edge of their penalty area.
The game took a decidedly edgy turn on the half-hour with Costa facing the brunt of some fierce tackling. Eric Dier finally entered Taylor's book for hacking down the striker on 32 minutes..
Cech did well to clasp the ball at near post after Eriksen's low drive went through the legs of a Cahill, leaving the goalkeeper with little time to react.
But it was the Blues who struck first with a minute of the half remaining. Nacer Chadli needlessly pulled down Ivanovic, wide in the right. From the resultant in-swinging free-kick by Willian, the ball was initially knocked down and Terry was on the spot from seven yards out to ram the ball into the back of the Spurs net. Cahill could have doubled the score when from another corner, he headed down, towards goal but Hugo Lloris did well to stop the ball on the line.
There were no changes of personnel at half-time by either side.
Lloris was soon in action and he thwarted Fabregas which produced an acrobatic overhead kick three minutes after the restart. The French goalkeeper expertly dived to his left to snaffle the ball to safety.
But Chelsea would not be denied and on their very next serious attack on 56 minutes they doubled the lead. Costa found himself free in the Spurs box, on the left, he arrowed to the byline, hoping to cut the ball back. But his shot instead took a wicked deflection off Kyle Walker and the ball zipped past Lloris and into the net.
Was it a shot or cross by Costa, the Chelsea fans did not care. Costa took the player plaudits though.
Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino elected to replace Townsend for Mousa Dembele on 61 minutes.
A beautiful curling effort by Hazard on 64 minutes almost ended the match as a contest, but the edge of the area effort just inched wide of Lloris's left upright.
Willian entered Taylor's book for a second trip in quick succession with 19 minutes in the clock, the same time Spurs' second substitution took place which saw Erik Lamela on for ineffectual Ryan Mason.
Jose Mourinho made his first change on 76 minutes replacing yellow-carded Willian with Juan Cuadrado, making his Capital One Cup bow.
Spurs' final substation saw Roberto Soldado for Chadli.
Cuadrado's Costa meaningful piece of action, getting a yellow card with four minutes left.
Mourinho ran down the clock in supreme style bringing on Didier Drogba with just seconds of the match remaining.
This is the first silverware of the new Mourinho era and it was ultimately won in convincing style.
