FT: Aston Villa 1-2 Manchester City, Aguero And Rodri On Target As City Lift Carabao Cup (Video Highlight)

Manchester City secured their third League Cup win in succession – and their fourth in 5 years – with victory over Aston Villa at Wembley.

Pep Guardiola’s side gained an historical treble of domestic trophies closing season with the Premier League and FA Cup, and they totally deserved their triumph in spite of a spirited effort from Aston Villa.

Manchester City appeared like they would stroll to victory when Sergio Aguero’s strike and Rodri’s header from a nook that was hotly contested through Villa put them in entire control inside 30 minutes.

Villa, while strictly 2nd best, offered themselves a lifeline when Mbwana Samatta headed in from Anwar El Ghazi’s cross 4 minutes before the interval.

City persisted to dominate as they sought a third goal and Villa have been agonizingly close to forcing extra time when Bjorn Engels saw his header from a nook turned on to the woodwork beautifully with the aid of keeper Claudio Bravo.

It was their final chance and City closed out the win their superiority merited.
