Pep wins first trophy in England

It was a masterclass display from Manchester City and Pep Guardiola, as they dismantled Arsené Wenger's toothless team at the Wembley Stadium for the Carabao Cup, to lift his first trophy since he took over at the Etihad.

Both sides went into the game off the back of shock defeats, with the Gunners losing 2-1 to Ostersunds in the Europa League last-32 second leg, (although they went through on aggregate), while Man City lost to Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup on Monday.
However, City who were favourites before the final, given the contrast in Premier League form: Pep Guardiola’s men are 16 points clear at the top
Going into the final, with the addition of Aubameyang, who spearheaded the attack for the Gunners, had first major threat which could have put them ahead, but for Walker's Quality defending, and Bravo's brilliant save, denied them a lead.


No clear cut chances between both teams, but the only chance they had, AGUERO chipped Ospina for the first Goal, after Mustafi's error in the first half, and could have had more with Sané 's constant threat.
Arsenal took the game to City in the second half, but the Quality of Fernando Silva, De bruyne, Sané and Aguero were too much to handle for the Gunners.
It wasn't long before injury prone Club Captain, Kompany made it 2-0. David Silva put an icing in the cake to make it 3-0.


This is eight finals for Arsené Wenger and Arsenal, and they have lost five.
Pep and his Boys will be looking for more trophies after this. Though, one hand is on EPL, as they already 'almost sealed the League'. Man City and Pep will be eyeing UEFA Champions League trophy as well.
