Man City end Arsenal's quadruple hopes as O'Reilly clinches Carabao Cup triumph

Manchester City won the Carabao Cup as Nico O'Reilly's double clinched a 2-0 win over Arsenal to end their hopes of a quadruple.

The full-back's goals, both headers, came in the space of four second-half minutes to leave Arsenal stunned and clinch a record fifth League Cup success for Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola.

Kepa Arrizabalaga, selected ahead of Arsenal's first-choice goalkeeper David Raya, was at fault for the opener as he allowed Rayan Cherki's right-wing cross to squirm through his hands, leaving O'Reilly with an open goal at the far post.

Arsenal's first cup final appearance since their 2020 FA Cup triumph went from bad to worse when O'Reilly headed home another cross, this time from Matheus Nunes, soon afterwards.

Arsenal hit the woodwork twice, through substitutes Riccardo Calafiori and Gabriel Jesus, as they tried to rally, but Manchester City showed their greater experience as they saw out the closing stages to leave their opponents' quadruple hopes in tatters.
