Khusanov won his first trophy in England: Manchester City beat Arsenal in League Cup final
Uzbekistan international Abdukodir Husanov has won the English League Cup with Manchester City. In the Wembley final, Pep Guardiola's side comfortably defeated Arsenal 2-0. For the 22-year-old, this trophy is his first both at club level and in English football — making him the first Uzbek player to win a title in England.
The hero of the match was left-back Nico O'Reilly, who scored twice with headers on 60 and 64 minutes. The first goal came after a mistake by Arsenal goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga, the second from a precise cross by Matheus Nunes.
City came into the final as underdogs amid an inconsistent season, but dominated the second half and kept Arsenal without a single clear chance. The Gunners' best opportunity came on 7 minutes when Kai Havertz broke through one-on-one, only to be denied by goalkeeper James Trafford.
For Arsenal, the defeat is doubly painful — Mikel Arteta's side has now lost the chance to win four trophies this season. In the Premier League table, Arsenal lead with 70 points, while City sit second with 61 but with a game in hand.
Guardiola has now won 16 major trophies with Manchester City, not counting Community Shields.
