Lambert’s Wembley spot-kick, after a blatant handball, put Saints 1-0 up and sent them on their way to a comfortable win and a rare piece of silverware.

GOAL 34: April 24, 2010 – Saints 3 Carlisle 2 With the aid of the near post, Lambert finished off Michail Antonio’s cross early in the second half to put Saints 2-1 ahead, before returning the favour by setting up the winger for the third goal shortly afterwards.

GOAL 35: May 8, 2010 – Saints 3 Southend 1 Saints fell behind, but Lambert equalised with his 30th league goal of the season, heading in Jason Puncheon’s delivery
