Manchester City had it the hard way despite going a goal, but a superb strike from Liverpool Philipe Coutinho took them to extra time and then to shootout when Caballero proves decisive as he saves 3 penalties shoot tonight.
Many expected the Argentine goalkeeper to cost the Blues at Wembley but he pulled off three superb saves in the penalty shoot-out to win the fifth trophy of the Mansour era.
In a season in which so many things have gone wrong for Manchester City on so many occasions, this was an afternoon where pretty much everything went right. Even sticking with the maligned Willy Caballero in goal.
Manuel Pellegrini made all the changes demanded of him by increasingly frustrated City supporters – but still stuck to his guns by keeping Caballero in goal – and he has been vindicated for the second time in a week and has won the third trophy of his time at the club.
But to Yaya Toure, despite scoring the winning penalty against Liverpool at Wembley, the Ivorian looked in no mood to celebrate with his team-mates in the dressing room. See photo above.
