Manchester City saw off Arsenal 2-0 at Wembley to lift the Carabao Cup, adding another domestic trophy to their collection.

It was a cagey affair early on, with both sides struggling to find rhythm, but City looked the more composed as the game wore on. Their patience paid off in the second half when Nico O’Reilly struck twice in quick succession to tilt the contest firmly in their favour.

Arsenal had moments, but lacked the cutting edge when it mattered most. City, by contrast, were clinical taking their chances and managing the game with the calm authority that has become typical under Pep Guardiola.

For City, it is another reminder of their dominance in English cup competitions. For Arsenal, it is a missed opportunity and one that will sting, given how close they came to silverware.
