Man City breeze past Arsenal to win League Cup

By Daily Sports on February 26, 2018

Manchester City rolled back the years on Sunday to win the first trophy of the Pep Guardiola era with three of their veteran players scoring in an emphatic 3-0 win against Arsenal at Wembley.

Sergio Aguero, Vincent Kompany and David Silva were all on the scoresheet as City lifted the trophy for the fifth time -- only Liverpool have won it more.

It was a stirring response from the Premier League leaders after their bid for a historic quadruple came to an end with a shock FA Cup defeat to League One Wigan on Monday.

"It's important," said Guardiola. "We're so happy, and a big congratulations to all of Manchester City, and our fans. This trophy is for Manchester City and not for me.

"The first half we were not good, there were a lot of mistakes. In the second half we played with a lot more courage and personality -- we were outstanding," says Guardiola.

A disappointed Wenger bemoaned his side's failure to take the lead through Aubameyang.

"I felt the game, we had the first good chance, a very easy one that we missed," he said.

"After that we made a big mistake for their first goal. But we controlled them pretty well in the first half, but they came out in the second half, and we were unlucky because the second goal was offside. But congratulations to Man City, they deserve the win." © AFP
