Breaking: Man City win League Cup final against Arsenal

Two second-half headers by Manchester City’s ​Nico O’Reilly settled the English ‌season’s first silverware on Sunday as Pep Guardiola’s side beat Arsenal ​2-0 in the League Cup ​final.

Premier League leaders Arsenal arrived ⁠as favourites to win their ​first trophy since 2020 but ​could have no complaints as City deservedly won the competition for the ninth ​time.

After a dreary first-half ​stalemate City went up a gear after ‌the ⁠break and O’Reilly capitalised on a fumble by Arsenal keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga to head in ​on the ​hour.

Arsenal ⁠huffed and puffed and hit the bar late on but ⁠showed ​little invention as ​talk of a possible quadruple ended abruptly.
