How did Manchester City secure their Carabao Cup victory over Arsenal?
Sergio Aguero opened the scoring for Manchester City. Vincent Kompany got the second and David Silva the third. And that 3-0 win over Arsenal which means that Manchester City have won the Carabao Cup. For Arsene Wenger it's a terrible run of results in Carabao Cup finals. He's yet to win the League Cup. in his 22 years as manager at Arsenal, and questions will be asked of his team's performance and, of course, of his management, as they have been for a while. The questions around Arsenal will continue, and we will come to that. First, though, let's reflect on the game itself and the win for Manchester City. Jamie Redknapp is here. Jamie, as much as anything, as much as winning the competition clearly means to the players here, is it about the promise of the future and what that holds for Man City?
What were the key moments that defined the match outcome?
Absolutely. Absolutely. I said before the game, this club is creating a dynasty now. They've got so much potential, the experienced players, and I think that's what we all enjoy today, the fact that it's Vincent Kompany, Aguero and David Silva, three players that have been there pretty much from the start of this change with a new ownership and the style of football they play. The manager is an incredible human being, the way that he gets his team playing, the belief that he has, and they deserve it. They're a fantastic club that are just going to... It's quite scary, actually, for everybody else in the Premier League right now. And in Europe, because they're capable of dominating everything.
And yet, they didn't have to be at 100% to win this game today against Arsenal, Craig. But what kind of performance did they put in? What did we see from Manchester City?
What challenges does Arsene Wenger face with Arsenal's performance?
Well, first half, they were a little bit sloppy at times. But credit to them, second half, they came out at a good 20, 25-minute spell. And then when they went 3-0 up, they'd just seen the game out. Arsenal had very little to offer. And in the end, it was a very comfortable win for Manchester City.
What about the performance from Arsenal, Thierry? Was that up to scratch?
Well, you know you're always going to struggle against Man City, but what I keep on thinking of is the way they considered the first goal on a goal kick, and we already talked about Mustafi not being where he's supposed to be. His reaction wasn't great. Maybe someone could have covered him. We can go into a lot of explanation, but bottom line is a goal kick straight to the striker and a goal. And the second goal, it's a corner for someone at the edge of the box that was alone, and so you considered two goals that... You would like to think or say maybe that they were inevitable, but at the end of the day, they conceded them. And when you go 2-0 down against a team like Man City, as we saw after you running after the ball, you kind of give up, which is a bit difficult to understand.
But they did, you're running after the ball, and they picked you up on the third goal, and that's it, 3-0. But what impresses me with Man City, I go back again, is again, I mean Pep, by the way, He won a final again without conceding a goal. People always talk about how his team play, but they can defend well. They defend high, in your house. Something I wanted to mention again.
How do Manchester City's players contribute to their success?
As a manager that you've played under, is that how he sets his teams up? Not just to be extremely attacking and entertaining, talking about the style of football, but also concentrating on the defensive aspect, which we don't talk much about at Manchester City.
Yes, I mean, I used to say that when I used to play under Pep. What was impressive is how we used to get the ball back, and that never got a mention, but hopefully with those guys, people are going to talk about it a bit more.
A first trophy for Pep Guardiola in his second season as Manchester City boss. Here he is with Guy Havard.
Pep, many congratulations. What does it mean to win that trophy today?
Quite important. So there are titles more important than this one, but of course we are so happy. Big congratulations for all Manchester City. Sheikh Mansour, Sheikh Khaldun, the big bosses and the last person.
