Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, has claimed that Manchester City capitalized on “good moments” in their 2-0 win in Sunday’s Carabao Cup final.
Nico O’Reilly scored two second-half headers, to ensure that City won the first silverware of this season at Wembley.
Arteta, speaking after the game, said they had chances to score in the first half and didn’t take it.
“There were different moments in the game,” Arteta explained.
“We had some really good ones in the first half, we had the biggest chance of the game by far and would have been 1-0 up.
“That would have changed the course of the game. In the second half, we had some issues to get out of the block in the first 20 minutes some issues to get out from that block, to press them better and manage the ball much better than when we did.
“We conceded the goal in an unexpected manner, and three minutes later they scored in similar conditions.
“Sometimes you have to give credit to the opposition, they capitalised when they were on top and we didn’t.”
