5 things we learned from the Carabao Cup final
City ran out comfortable winners at Wembley.
Pep Guardiola won his first trophy in English football as Manchester City lifted the Carabao Cup following a convincing 3-0 victory over Arsenal.

Here, Press Association Sport looks at five things we learned from Sunday’s final.
Aguero loves playing against Arsenal
City’s all-time leading goalscorer Aguero once again proved to be the Gunners’ nemesis. The Argentinian – who moved on to 199 goals for the club with the 19th-minute opener – has now scored in each of his last five appearances against Arsene Wenger’s men in all competitions, a feat he has previously achieved against both Tottenham and Sunderland. After easing Shkodran Mustafi off the ball, the 29-year-old showed his trademark killer instinct with a calm lob over David Ospina for his 30th goal of the season.
