Manchester City wins English League Cup by beating Arsenal 2-0

Manchester City won the English League Cup on Sunday with a 2-0 victory over Arsenal in the final at Wembley Stadium. Manchester-born Nico O’Reilly scored both goals in the second half as City claimed the first piece of major domestic silverware this season. The victory may also have handed Pep Guardiola a psychological advantage in the race for the Premier League title as he aims to chase down Arsenal’s nine-point lead at the top of the standings. City is in second place with a game in hand and the teams are still to play each other in Manchester.
