Former Super Eagles captain, Sunday Oliseh, has claimed that Manchester City’s 2-0 win over Arsenal in the Carabao Cup final was “a big statement”.
Nico O’Reilly scored two headers in the second half as City won their first piece of silverware this season.
Oliseh, writing on his verified X page, gave a tactical breakdown of how Pep Guardiola got one over Mikel Arteta.
“Big Statement made by Manchester City to win the Carabao Cup.
“Man. City’s creative players and ball jugglers like Doku, Chekhi, Bernardo Silva made the difference.
“Arsenal’s system relies on positional discipline and high-intensity pressing. City countered in the second half with these high-frequency dribblers to create 1v1 isolations that broke Arsenal’s low block.
“Total domination by Manchester City of the second half though.
“Arsenal can take solace in the near certainty that they should win the Premier league trophy. or won’t they?”
