Nico O’Reilly reflected on a 2-0 win for Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final.
On the weekend when he turned 21 years old, the academy graduate scored two headed goals in the second half against Arsenal. A matchwinner at Wembley Stadium, he has gone down in club history.
“It is a great night, great weekend and I am so happy to get the win. We came out in the second half, and we didn't let them out the half and I think it's a few tweaks from the manager tactical wise, positioning wise and it worked well.
“It's a blow for them obviously and we need to build and get some momentum from this game now. We need to kick on and fight hard we got a game in hand in the Premier League, then we have got to play them at our place and we're still in the FA Cup against Liverpool with a tough tie. We need to do everything we can to keep going.
“We got some great leaders who have won a lot. They definitely help us young players who haven't been in situation like this before in title races and won many trophies. It's definitely very important to have them around.
“This competition is huge in in English football. Obviously in the semis we beat the reigning holders and now we have beaten the team at top of the league. It's a great competition, great games, and to play Wembley Stadium is always amazing, special. So, as I said, let's just keep going on. It's a great feeling, but I'm not going to get ahead of myself because there's still a lot to play for, lots to do.
“The changing room is happy. Everyone's happy with each other. It’s a perfect weekend. I couldn't have asked for much more to be honest. Now I'm going to go and see my family, celebrate a bit, and get ready for internationals.”
