Manchester City stun Arsenal to win Carabao Cup final as O'Reilly scores two goals in four minutes
- On March 22, 2026, Manchester City beat Arsenal 2-0 at Wembley, with 21-year-old Nico O'Reilly scoring a headed goal from a Rodri/Nunes cross in front of 90,000 fans.
- The final mattered as the season's first trophy and a title-race psychological test, with nine points separating Pep Guardiola, Manchester City manager, and Mikel Arteta, Arsenal manager, in the Premier League title race with eight games remaining.
- James Trafford started in goal for Man City, continuing Guardiola's cup policy, while Kepa's early error led to City's opening goal and Ruben Dias, Eberechi Eze, and Jurrien Timber missed the final due to injury.
- City's win edged them toward another League Cup in Guardiola's tenure, moving Manchester City closer to a ninth title and delivering a psychological blow in the Premier League title race.
- Arsenal's recent unbeaten run against City framed the rivalry going in, as City reached the final after defeating Newcastle United 5-1 on aggregate, while Haaland's 2026 form and Wembley record remained talking points.
