Manchester City secured the first major trophy of the English season after defeating Arsenal 2-0 in the Carabao Cup Final on Sunday.
Two second-half headers from Nico O’Reilly proved decisive, as Pep Guardiola’s side stepped up after the break to take control of the game.
The breakthrough came around the hour mark when O’Reilly capitalised on a mistake by Arsenal goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga to nod City ahead.
Just four minutes later, the youngster doubled the lead, meeting a cross from Matheus Nunes with another well-placed header to seal the victory.
Arsenal, who came into the final as favourites and were chasing their first trophy since 2020, struggled to create meaningful chances.
Despite hitting the crossbar late on, they lacked the cutting edge needed to mount a comeback, bringing their hopes of a potential quadruple to an abrupt end.
Manchester City’s win marks their ninth League Cup triumph, underlining their dominance and experience on the big stage.
