Manchester City beat Chelsea 4-3 on penalties to win a dramatic League Cup final at Wembley on Sunday which saw an incredible bust-up between Blues boss Maurizio Sarri and goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga.

Pep Guardiola's side retained the trophy they also won 12 months ago as Raheem Sterling scored the decisive spot-kick after Ederson saved from Jorginho and David Luiz hit the post.

Manchester City Football Club is a football club based in Manchester, England, that competes in the Premier League, the top flight of English football.

The match had finished 0-0 after extra-time, with a tense affair exploding into life in the final moments when Arrizabalaga refused to be substituted by Sarri.

Kepa had been struggling with cramp and Sarri was ready to take off the Spaniard, only to be left fuming when his keeper insisted he could carry on.

The Italian tried to replace the world's most expensive player towards the end of a cagey 120 minutes that ended 0-0.

City goalkeeper Ederson denied Jorginho and David Luiz hit the post in the shootout before Raheem Sterling smashed the winning penalty past Kepa.

Until that flashpoint, the afternoon had been a success for Sarri just two weeks on from Chelsea's worst defeat since 1991 in a 6-0 thrashing at the hands of City in the Premier League.

The chances of Sarri losing his job were only heightened by FA Cup elimination at the hands of Manchester United on Monday.

With his back to the wall, it was perhaps understandable then that Sarri adopted a far more cautious approach.
