Guardiola: ‘Arsenal Have the Premier League in Their Hands’ After Carabao Cup Win

Pep Guardiola celebrated Manchester City’s ninth Carabao Cup triumph with a 2-0 victory over Arsenal at Wembley, thanks to two second-half headers from Nico O’Reilly. In his post-match interview, Guardiola admitted that Arsenal hold the upper hand in the Premier League race. He confessed he would love to be nine points clear but joked that he needs an 'incredible break' before tackling the run-in. Arsenal currently lead City by nine points despite City having a game in hand.
