Hehe....i watch the match ooo.....Willy Caballero saved three penalties as Manchester City claimed the Capital One Cup with a 3-1 shoot-out victory over Liverpool following a 1-1 draw at Wembley, Sky Sports reports.His heroics provided Nigeria’s Kelechi Iheanacho his first trophy although he was an unused substitute.Lucas Leiva, Philippe Coutinho and Adam Lallana were all denied by City’s No 2 goalkeeper,
leaving Yaya Toure to wrap up the win with his spot kick.Fernandinho gave City the lead in the 49th minute after his shot from an angle inside the area found its way under Simon Mignolet, who will feel he should have done better.Former Liverpool man Raheem Sterling had two clear opportunities to double City’s lead, but on both occasions struck just wide in space in the penalty area.Liverpool equalised through Coutinho in the 83rd minute, converting in the penalty area after Lallana had hit the post and forcing the game into extra-time and then penalties.The win gives Manuel Pellegrini his third major trophy in as many seasons at City, three months before he is replaced by Pep Guardiola.Jurgen Klopp kept faith with the same XI that beat Augsburg 1-0 in the Europa League on Thursday, while Pellegrini made just one change, replacing Joe Hart with cup goalkeeper Caballero.After an even opening quarter lacking in clear-cut opportunities, the first big chance fell to 2014 winners City in the 24th minute.David Silva’s splitting through ball found Sergio Aguero, but after the Argentine cut inside past the slipping Mamadou Sakho, Mignolet did superbly to get down to his left to tip his low effort from 12 yards onto the post.
