Cristiano Ronaldo is intent on lifting the FA Cup after steering Manchester United into the fifth round.
The Portugal winger scored twice, once from the spot, in the 3-1 victory against 10-man Tottenham at Old Trafford.
United stormed back after Robbie Keane had opened the scoring for the Carling Cup finalists, with Carlos Tevez getting the equaliser.
Now Ronaldo wants to make up for the disappointment of losing to Chelsea in the final last season.
He said: "We are in the next round of the cup and that is what is important.
"This cup means a lot to the supporters so we want to go and win it for them. I am confident that we can go on and do that now."
The turning point of the game came when Tottenham defender Michael Dawson was sent off in the 68th minute for handball.
Ronaldo scored from the spot and added another late on when the ball squirmed under goalkeeper Radek Cerny's body.
It means he has achieved a seasonal best for the club of 25 goals - and the campaign still has four months to run.
Ronaldo said: "It is fantastic to keep scoring but I must say thanks to my team-mates. They are helping me to have a great season.
"Sometimes you miss penalties and sometimes you score but my confidence was positive so I was happy to take it.
"I never think about whether I have missed in the past or not so it was not a problem to take the penalty."
United manager Sir Alex Ferguson was delighted at the way his team responded to Keane's goal.
The added bonus was a 20-minute cameo by former England midfielder Paul Scholes.
It was his first taste of action in three months following a knee operation.
Ferguson said: "I am happy with the result because Spurs came into the game on the back of a fantastic win against Arsenal in the Carling Cup so we knew it wouldn't be easy.
"It was a very open match and I think it was a fantastic cup tie where both teams contributed to what was a great game.
"We dominated possession and we created a number of opportunities but maybe our final ball wasn't as good as it can be which let us down a bit."
Tottenham head coach Juande Ramos insisted that the scoreline was not a fair reflection of the game.
They squandered a number of good chances to force a replay at least with Jermaine Jenas particularly wasteful.
Ramos said: "We matched Manchester United at all times and had many possibilities to score.
"The result is closer than the score suggests. I thought we coped well with the challenge of playing them on their own ground.
"There were some decisive moments in the game and we deserved more from it."
