Manchester City Stun Liverpool at Anfield with 93rd-Minute Winner
Man City Claim First Trophy of Season with 2–0 Win Against Arsenal
Manchester City secured a 2-0 victory over Arsenal at Wembley Stadium on Sunday to lift the Carabao Cup, bringing an end to the Gunners’ pursuit of a historic quadruple.
Nico O’Reilly proved decisive for City, netting twice in the second half to deliver the trophy for Pep Guardiola’s men and deny Mikel Arteta’s side a first League Cup success since 1993.
City handed a starting role to goalkeeper James Trafford and named a strong side featuring Erling Haaland, as they aimed to end a run of three matches without a win against an Arsenal team that had gone 12 games unbeaten in all competitions.

The opening half was closely fought, but the game shifted after the interval as City took control, with Arsenal goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga involved in the build-up to both goals conceded.
O’Reilly broke the deadlock in the 60th minute after Arrizabalaga failed to hold onto a cross, allowing the midfielder to react quickly and make it 1-0. Four minutes later, he struck again, converting Matheus Nunes’ delivery to put the result beyond doubt.
Guardiola reacted with visible excitement on the sidelines as City claimed their ninth Carabao Cup title, while also extending his personal unbeaten record in finals of the competition to five victories.
