What were the key moments in Manchester City's victory over Arsenal?
It is City's Cup again.
The Nico O'Reilly finals. Two goals in four and a half second half minutes. His day, their day. The first prize of the season is City's prize. It's Pat's prize.
He and they are in the trophy business once more. He leaves behind Clough, Mourinho, Ferguson. He becomes the first five-time League Cup winner. And as the season heads for home, who knows how energising this might be.
O'Reilly 1, O'Reilly 2, City 2, Arsenal 0, Gary. It's landed a major blow today in Manchester City. Not just today, winning this final, Pep Guardiola a five-time champion in this trophy. What a day for Nico O'Reilly. But the impact that it might have, City needed something to lift them up.
How did Nico O'Reilly's performance impact the Carabao Cup final?
towards the running and they've just got it and Arsenal now must try and recover but Pep Guardiola will be so proud his team have delivered a desperate day for Kepa, Jokeres and co but they've got time to recover and Mikel Arteta's got a big big job to do now in these coming weeks For Arsenal, the first medal slips through their fingers.
Their seventh defeat in nine League Cup finals. It is an occasion which historically leaves them repeatedly, habitually shattered. Three more prizes up for grabs, but this one has gone away. City, after a whole year without a trophy, have back on their dancing shoes.
Five years since winning it last. in the half-empty Covid final of 2021. Back for it again, in front of the full glare and glare of the Blue Moon masses.
Bernardo Silva is the man rehearsing to hold up the trophy.
Chucky danced in front of him.
And Guardiola... ..is greeting this trophy, his 15th, with City as if it were his first. City have won it. They've won it because of Nico O'Reilly, and we can hear from him now. Nico, it's the Nico O'Reilly Cup Final.
What challenges did Arsenal face during the match?
You've seen your heroes have these moments, your Gündoğan's, Rodri's, Agüero's. What's it like to have your own?
Yeah, unbelievable feeling. I mean, to win a final, obviously to beat this team, we know how good they are. And yes, now we need to build on it. It'll give us good momentum. And yeah, buzzing with today.
And from a family of City fans, came through the City Academy, that make it all the more extraordinary. I mean, you must be stood here now thinking, has this really happened to me? Yeah, a bit of disbelief. Seeing all the fans cheering like that when I scored them goals. Yeah, really a good feeling and a great weekend, a great birthday weekend. Like I said, you are from a family of City fans. Who's here today? Who's enjoying it with you?
How did Pep Guardiola's tactics influence the game?
Who's been on the journey? My whole family came down today.
They're all in a stand. I know they'll be buzzing. I can't wait to celebrate with them.
They definitely will be. You just have that knack, even though you're actually playing left-back today, of arriving in the box at the right time. When did that develop in your game?
I think since I was a kid, I always played midfield. I was always arriving in the box and scoring goals. And, yeah, to bring it into the senior level and the highest level, I mean, yeah, it's good for me. It adds goals to my game. And, yeah, great feeling.
Looking forward now to walking up those steps and picking up that trophy? Yeah, can't wait.
What mistakes did Arsenal make that led to their defeat?
Well done. Thank you, mate. Thank you.
what a story coming through the academy a manchester city fan through and through and he has got the two goals that has won them the first trophy of this season micah um absolutely out you know a standing moment for him coming through the academy he talked there about his play midfield to be able to adapt to go to left back it's so good to see and what it means to him
However, in that second half, I thought Man City were brilliant. They started building it in the first half, and then they built on that momentum, took it into the second half, and Arsenal didn't know what to do. We'll talk a bit later about maybe what Arsenal may could have done, but Man City were just brilliant. When I watched Man City against Real Madrid with 10 men, I did start to believe that they still had this sort of performance in them.
