Blog of football stats



Manchester City won his first trophy under the leadership of Josep Guardiola after defeating Arsenal with 3:0 Wembley and picked up the League Cup of England. This means that `citizens` will almost certainly finish the season with a double because there is hardly any doubt that they will also win the Premier League title. The team also continues the battle in the Champions League, so City can record even a memorable treble. Sergio Aguero (18 `), Vincent Compani (58 `) and David Silva (65 `) scored the goals and brought Pep Guardiola`s first trophy to England. Arsenal disappoints its fans again, and the Cup, which is the only local award Arsene Wenger has not won, has slipped out of the Frenchman`s hand again. The only chance for a trophy this season for Arsenal is to become the winner of the Europa League.


Wenger had made seven changes in his squad compared to the Europa League match. David Osmpina, Khalam Chambers, Ector Belerin and Jack Wilshire were the only ones to keep their seats. Aaron Ramsey and Mesut Ozil returned, and Pierre-Emerico Aubameyang was expected to lead the attack. Henrich Mhhtaaryan did not have the right to play for Arsenal in the tournament. Four were the corrections made by Pep Guardiola. Vincent Compani, Nicholas Otamendi, Kyle Walker and Kevin de Bruyne were holders. Rahim Stirling was injured, and Gabriel Jesus was already reinstated but was on the bench. The Brazilian still appeared in play in the 77th minute. Claudio Bravo started at the door. City started better, but the first position created the `balls`. At the eighth minute, Ramsey led Oasis to the right, then the Germans sought Aubameyang on the far beam, but the striker could not make a final by football sure bets blow, and there was also Walker, who did well and then Bravo caught. In this situation, Obama was ambushed, but the side referee labeled it. City replied immediately. Silva took Aguero with a very good pass, but the Argentine shot off the door.

In the 18th minute, the `citizens` came forward in the result. Bravo made an initial blow, then sent the ball deep into Arsenal`s half. Mustafi allowed the ball to pass him over to Aguero, who transferred the technically advanced Opsina. The Argentine was slightly leaning against Mustafi`s shoulder while the ball was flying toward him, for which the `gunners` protested that the hunt had to be canceled. However, this did not happen, and the VAR system available for this match was also not used.


In the 26th minute, Montreal left with an injury replaced by Collasinak. Five minutes before the break, Aguero came in at speed to the left, then tried very technically to move Osina from a small angle. The Argentine succeeded and the ball headed to the far beam, where Cosies tried to clear, but the ball came from De Bourne, whose stroke was tangled on the outside of the net. And the second half began with Manchester City`s pressure. In the 48th minute, Compani had a dangerous kick after a corner in front of Arsenal`s goal, the ball ricocheted at the feet of Cosiellini, then went sideways. Shortly thereafter, and Josephine Guardiola had to do?
