The citizen set passed over Aston Villa (1-2) and took the trophy for the third consecutive year with goals from Agero and Rodri.
Manchester City members celebrate the title.
There was no room for surprises at Wembley, the almighty Manchester City pas above the Aston Villa (1-2) and took his seventh League Cup, the third in a row, with goals from Sergio Agero Y Rodri.
While Aston Villa spoke in the stands, singing to the City that he can never say that he is the champion of Europe (something that Villa achieved in 1982), the celestial sentenced on the green. On a sunny and late afternoon in London, the smallest of the domestic drinks in England went to the windows of the City and a Pep Guardiola which already has eight titles with the English and 29 in total.
The City was a favorite and I showed it, despite coming from a week warmed up with the confrontation against Real Madrid. Victory at Santiago Bernabu condition eleven and Guardiola meti eight changes with respect to the lived in the Spanish capital, leaving Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva and Riyad Mahrez out. This was no problem for the City's wardrobe, especially incisive above.
At 20 minutes, the first arrived. Rodri changed the direction of the game by putting the ball in the area, Phil Foden appeared and left it dead on his head for Agero to appear. The Argentine topped first, the leather knocked on Tyrone Mings and got into the goalkeeper. The City already had what he wanted and was dedicated to accumulate players in the Villa field and to look for the second, a matter of time.
Polmica in the second goal
With controversy the second goal was born. The referee signaled a crner who was not in favor of City and Rodri, appearing alone, topped his head. It gave the sensation of being dead and at the end with that second goal around half an hour, but John Stones, head start against casualties in defense, allowed Villa to resurrect. He slipped, led to a rapid offensive transition and Mbwana Samatta connected an unappealable header to Claudio Bravo's networks.
With that target you came to rest, anticipating a second open and giving hope to the warm fans of Birmingham. But the second 45 minutes, instead of emotion, distilled boredom. The City agreed to play placidly on the front of the Villa area, in addition to some isolated Agero opportunity, and the villains They only tried it with shy bursts.
Until minute 87, in which Engels stood above the defense to get a header that cleared Bravo, in one of his few interventions in the game, with the help of the post. Enough for a City that already has seven League Cups in its palmars and that in recent years has become the king of this competition, remaining just a twist of the eight that Liverpool has, the most in England .
