Nico O'Reilly scored twice as Man City beat Arsenal to win the EFL Cup final at Wembly Stadium on Sunday.
Arsenal keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga gifted O'Reilly the opener before he headed in again four minutes later.
City win now means that Pep Guardiola has become the first boss to win this trophy five times as the Gunners miss the chance to win their first major silverware since 2020.
O'Reilly, talking pitchside after the match, said, "It's an unbelievable feeling," he says. "To win a final, to beat this team, I'm buzzing."
Arsenal have only failed to score in two of their 13 major finals this century, vs Manchester United in the 2005 FA Cup and vs Manchester City in the 2018 League Cup.
