Arsenal have been beaten in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley with Manchester City’s young full-back, Nico O’Reilly, stunning their rivals with two goals in four minutes.
After a goalless first half, O’Reilly opened the scoring in the 60th minute when Arsenal keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga fumbled the ball into his path from a few yards out.
Four minutes later, O’Reilly scored again, doubling City’s advantage.
Arsenal went into the cup final still in contention for an unprecedented, but unlikely, quadruple.
After a less-than-successful season so far, Manchester City were hoping to pick up some silverware.
Despite being goalless in the first half, both sides had chances with Erling Haaland heading over from short range and City’s keeper James Trafford pulling out a triple save to keep Arsenal out.

That was also the sentiment from Sky Sports’ Jamie Redknapp: “City were by far the better team. Arsenal didn’t have an answer. They missed [captain Martin] Odegaard, no [Eberechi] Eze [both absent because of injury], they had no real cohesion, no pace up front.”
