Manchester City pip Tottenham to claim fourth consecutive League Cup title

Manchester City have won a record fourth straight finals to clinch the Carabao Cup after beating Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 on Sunday at the Wembley stadium.

Pep Guardiola’s love affair with English football league cup continued as City saw off Tottenham to lift the Carabao Cup for the fourth time in a row.

Match-hero Aymeric Laporte scored the only goal of the game which was watched by 8,000 fans at Wembley.

City had dominated the game but it took until the 80th minute to break the deadlock, when Kevin De Bruyne swung in a free-kick and defender Laporte beat marker Moussa Sissoko and rose to head the ball past Hugo Lloris.

Guardiola’s men had the best chances, particularly in the first half, before Pep Guardiola’s side finally broke through to win their fourth consecutive League Cup.

Man City now hold a joint-record of eighth league cup wins, having equaled Liverpool’s feat.

They became the second team to win the competition in four consecutive campaigns (2018, 2019, 2020, 2021) after Liverpool in 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984.

Meanwhile, Man City appear to still be in gunning for two more trophies as they are 10 points ahead of Manchester United in the Premier League table and will face PSG in the semi-finals of the Champions League.

The win posed a landmark achievement for Guardiola, who has now won his 30th trophy as manager since 2008.
