Nico O’Reilly scored twice as Manchester City defeated Arsenal 2-0 in the final of the Carabao Cup at the Wembley Stadium.
The disappointing defeat derailed Arsenal’s quadruple bid.
Stand-in Arsenal goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga gifted City their first when he fumbled Rayan Cherki’s cross on the hour mark, with O’Reilly on hand to head home from close range.
A rampant City then doubled their advantage just four minutes later after O’Reilly converted Matheus Nunes’ cross to send Pep Guardiola dancing along the touchline.
Riccardo Calafiori hit a post and Gabriel Jesus struck the crossbar as Arsenal went in search of a response.
City saw out the victory as Guardiola landed the 19th trophy of his remarkable 10-season City tenure.
