Manchester City wins English League Cup by beating Arsenal 2-0

By Canadian Press on March 22, 2026.

LONDON (AP) — Manchester City won the English League Cup on Sunday with a 2-0 win against Arsenal in the final at Wembley Stadium.

Nico O’Reilly scored both goals in the second half as City claimed the first major piece of domestic silverware this season.

Victory may also have handed Pep Guardiola’s team a psychological advantage in the race for the Premier League title as it aims to chase down Arsenal’s nine-point lead at the top of the standings.
