Manchester City faced off against Arsenal at Wembley Stadium earlier this evening as they hoped to secure a good result in the EFL Cup final. The Mancunian club made a solid start to the game but were held to a scoreless draw at the half-time break.<\/p>\n

Nico O\u2019Reilly scored the opener in the 60th minute before going on to score again just four minutes later. The match ended with Pep Guardiola\u2019s side earning an impressive 2-0 win at Wembley.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a look at how each Manchester City<\/a> player fared during the clash against the Gunners.<\/p>\n

GK: James Trafford \u2013 7.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

He made a few solid saves at the back and did enough to keep a clean sheet.<\/p>\n

RB: Matheus Nunes \u2013 8\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nunes performed his defensive duties well and managed to secure an assist.<\/p>\n

CB: Abdukodir Khusanov \u2013 7\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

He gave a good account of himself defensively and would be quite pleased with the clean sheet.<\/p>\n

CB: Nathan Ake \u2013 7\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ake cleared the danger when he could and was a good presence on the ball.<\/p>\n

LB: Nico O\u2019Reilly \u2013 9\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

He was a positive influence at both ends of the field and scored a quick-fire brace in the second half to help his team win the cup.<\/p>\n

CDM: Rodri \u2013 7\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rodi earned possession back twice and was tidy with his passing.<\/p>\n

RM: Antoine Semenyo \u2013 7\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

He worked hard at both ends of the field but struggled to threaten the Arsenal goal.<\/p>\n

CM: Rayan Cherki \u2013 7\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cherki was a constant menace in the final third and kept possession well in tight spaces.<\/p>\n

CM: Bernardo Silva \u2013 7\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

He made a few positive runs with the ball, but there was no goal for him.<\/p>\n

CM: Jeremy Doku \u2013 8\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Doku made a lot of dangerous runs with the ball but failed to get his name on the scoresheet this evening.<\/p>\n

ST: Erling Haaland \u2013<\/strong> 6.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Norway international was a real handful on the offensive end of the pitch, but never looked like he would find the back of the net.<\/p>\n
