Arsenal were beaten in the Carabao Cup final after an impressive Manchester City took advantage of a mistake when it mattered.
It was a cagey first half with very few chances for either side. Kai Havertz had the best chance of the opening stages, a great pass from Martin Zubimendi splitting the City back line.
Kepa Arrizabalaga, picked to start over David Raya, nearly came unstuck and was booked after fouling Jeremy Doku outside the box. This would be the precursor for the Nico O’Reilly goal after the Spaniard failed to catch the cross leading to the opener.
The City youngster soon had his second in a similar fashion after Nunes was allowed a chance to cross, and O’Reilly headed in. Despite changes from Arteta, the Gunners couldn’t find a way back into the game.
