O'Reilly's Headers Deliver Manchester City's Ninth League Cup Triumph

Manchester City secured their ninth League Cup trophy with a convincing 2-0 win over Arsenal, thanks to two second-half headers by Nico O'Reilly.

Despite entering as favorites, Arsenal failed to deliver as City dominated the latter half of the match.

O'Reilly scored first after exploiting a fumble by Arsenal goalie Kepa Arrizabalaga, and later doubled the score with a cross from Matheus Nunes.
