SUMMARY

It’s amazing to think about it, but Manhcester City haven’t been out since October 2016 when it comes to the English League Cup. The jacket suffered by city rival Manchester United was followed by 17 winning matches in a row, paired with three League Cup golds.

And the three-time defending champion didn’t break tradition at Arsenal’s home either. Pep Guardiola’s team also claimed the 18th consecutive victory in the smallest series of the English Cup. So that his passage was not really in danger.

The guests were already at minute 3 Gabriel Jesus with a head in which, halfway, almost out of nowhere, Alexandre Lacazette Arsenal replied with his head. The drama of the first half, however, was not this, but the injury of Gabriel Martinelli, which prepared the goal for Lacazette. The young Brazilian had just recovered from his previous and prolonged injury (he was able to play only one champion in the fall), injured again. At first, he ran into Zackary Steffen, who was otherwise outside his door, with his right ankle injured. Martinelli struggled for minutes, remained limp on the pitch and even ran off early in the second half, so in the 49th minute he had to be replaced by force.

It would be difficult to detect this injury alone, with Mikel Arteta unable to get into the game in a way that Arsenal had a real chance to surprise City. Under the Arsenal manager, who is much appreciated by Pep Guardiola, the small bench is rocking more and more, and what happened in the wide quarter of an hour after the replacement is unlikely to help him maintain his position. The guests Rijad Mahrez took the lead again after a free kick (Rúnar Rúnarsson was a slave) and then in the 60th minute Phil Foden born after landing, but doubled with the given target (1-3).

In minute 73 Aymeric laporte sealed Arsenal’s fate by nodding City’s fourth goal from long to the net after a corner kick (1-4).

For the first time since 1998, Arsenal have scored at least four goals at home in the League Cup. Then, under the direction of Arsene Wenger, Chelsea gave the team thoroughly (0-5).

The teacher (Pep Guardiola) again taught the disciple (Mikel Arteta) a lesson, all in a way that he really didn’t have to try. Like Manchester City for their eighteenth consecutive League Cup.

MINUTE BY MINUTE

END!

90 + 2. minute: Pépé catches the ball on the right of the 16, shoots from an acute angle but Steffen closes the short well.

90 + 1 minute: Foden throws Mahrez from the right wing inwards, who shoots from 8 meters, Rúnarsson of second intention, but can hug the ball. There was no easy defense.

Two minutes is the planned addition!

87 min: Agüero shoots to the left, selflessly passes in front of Zinchenko from the top of 16, who almost took the ball out of the stadium from 19 meters …

85 min: Pépé tries a shot from 16 meters, but his ball goes wide. No embellishment.

84 min: Mahrez accelerates in the foreground of the goal, shoots from the right to the inside, Gabriel shoots and mounts firmly.

Minute 80: Kolasinac’s shot from the left is expressed by the defenders without much emotion.

77 min: And it was the last change of the game, Lacazette instead of Balogun.

77 min: As City’s last trade, Walker comes in to replace Rodri.

74 min: Gabriel Jesus le, Sergio Agüero be!

73 min: FOUR! IS THE RISK CORRECT? A small corner from the right, Foden enters the long line, two City players also arrive, Laporte is the one who heads the net together with the vulnerable Rúnarsson! 1-4

70 min: Bernardo Silva replaces Ferran Torres for guests.

The ball is in the field. City notably gave up the area after the third goal, rather the visiting team is waiting for counterattacks.

66 min: Replacement at Arsenal: Down, Smith Rowe in!

64 min: Yellow card to Bernardo Silva

Based on replays, I was not only suspicious, but specifically where Foden put the ball, but there is no video referee in the League Cup …

Minute 60: IS THE MATCH OVER? Fernandinho starts on the left, centered, starting at the limit Foden takes over and then gently lifts it over the Rúnarsson exit to the center of the goal! 3-1

The cinematographers show Bernd Leno, who cuts a funnel image in the stands and bites the edge of his mouth, with good sense …

Minute 55: GOOD! POTYA GOAL. 1-2

53 min: Mahrez tricks on the esplanade 16 Gabriel dangles his legs together. Centiken beyond that, not 11! City can come with a free kick from a great spot, a little better. The distance is not even 17 meters.

49 min: Martinelli le, Pépé be!

48 min: It was not a panacea. Martinelli sits down and even lies on the floor. They come to feed again. Pepe dresses …

47 min: At Mahrez’s house, there must be a gap for goalkeeper Steffen, Lacazette attacks, down, but he could only scare the American goalkeeper.

Martinelli is on the pitch for the moment. Soda or ice? This is the question! However, what could have been the panacea?

Minute 46: The second part has begun!

TO BREAK!

45 + 4. minutes: END OF THE FIRST HALF. Martinelli also eloquently removed the shin guard from his right leg.

In the field, meanwhile, one or two imprecise climbs, nothing serious.

He’s still visibly pulling on his leg, leaning on his knee in the dead moment. It’s a question of whether you can start something with that ankle during the break. A clear goal is to get Martinelli out at least until then.

45 + 2. minute: Martinelli is a bit lame, but returns to the field.

Three minutes is the planned addition, but since Martinelli’s care is still ongoing, it’s likely to be more …

Martinelli is slowly lying on the ground for two minutes, from the way he holds his head and panties, it doesn’t look like he would pretend. Maybe there are more problems with that ankle …

43 min: Willock taunted Martinelli, Steffen shoots out of his goal and, after a great sprint, kicks the ball 27-28 yards from goal in front of the Brazilian forward. The forward then stays on the ground, and the American goalkeeper kicks his right ankle along with the ball …

41 min: Foden would take the ball in a zigzag into the 16-yard box, swept by the incoming defender, but right in front of the outburst Gabriel Jesus, who shoots from 7 meters at Rúnarsson’s throw.

38 min: Laporte adjusts with his foot, he takes the ball 30 meters from the goal, the teammates do not start, Rúnarsson is a little out, so he tries to surprise him with a climb, but the Icelandic goalkeeper takes it easily from the upper left.

34 min: Arsenal has risen! Now Cédric starts forward on the right wing, passes the ball in a high arc, Martinelli heads in the long run, but his cloudy head is too strong, leaving the field above the right tip of the goal.

Minute 32: GOOD! Just like Arsenal! Marinelli nearly copied his pass just after City came up short to free defenses, with Willock and Lacazette arrives, the first one has a high ball, but the second arrives at a perfect rhythm and leaving the defender Steffen without a chance, heads at goal from 4 meters! 1–1

31 min: Martinelli did the trick on the left side against Cancelo, the pass comes in handy in the middle, Steffen moves away from the exploding Willock!

28 min: Another dangerously curved corner from Bernardo Silva, Ceballos can now head long, the ball flies over the top right corner!

27 min: Joao Cancelo curves a free kick a good 32-34 meters from the goal, Rodri arrives on the left side of the five, Willock went big in front of him.

25 min: Mustafi also receives a yellow, Gabriel shook Jesus after the Brazilian moved away from him 28-30 meters from the gate.

25 min: Mahrez takes the free kick but tries to shoot a goal from 18 meters, slightly to the left, but the right side of the wall line can head. Selfless rescue.

24 min: Elny turns yellow. he slipped over Gabriel Jesús from behind in patio 16.

23 min: After Bernardo Silva’s corner kick from the left, Laporte leaps past all of the top five from the top, his head inches from the outside edge of the right post.

22 min: After Foden’s departure, the ball goes to Cancelo, who arrives on the right wing, waits for a beat, then passes flat to Mahrez, who is in line with the penalty spot, who takes it, puts it on the right foot, shoots , but it blocks it.

19 min: Lacazette tries a pass, but it’s a good block for City defenders.

14 min: When Ceballos started, Lacazette was ambushed.

Arsenal can only rarely hold the ball, still preferring to fly in their own half. After a tight 15 minutes, City’s possession percentage is over 70 percent!

10 minutes: In the Foden administration, Gabriel was self-sacrificing.

6 min: Rodri puts the ball down for Fernandinho, who reaches the left wing of 16, who shoots from 21 yards after a lineup, Gabrielen bounces, avoiding the long groundstroke by a good meter.

3rd minute: LEADERS OF THE CITY OF SA MANCHESTER! Foden hits the ball to the left, Zinchenko passes from the baseline, down the middle Gabriel Jesus He reaches up to Mustafi and then nods at the 4-meter door. 0-1

Manchester City is the three-time defending champion.

1 minute: The game has started!

Arsenal are playing tonight in a dark gray jersey, leg and sweatpants, and Arsenal are in a red jersey, white pants and red leg.
