“Now we need to build on this,” says O’Reilly after Carabao Cup final brace Nico O’Reilly scored both goals in Manchester City’s Carabao Cup win against Arsenal , just a day after turning 21. Two headers in four minutes secured the silverware for Pep Guardiola’s men, and speaking to Sky Sports after the final whistle, O’Reilly admitted that it was “an unbelievable feeling. “To win a final, obviously to beat this team – we know how good they are – and now we need to build on this.
It’ll give us good momentum,” he explained, with both sides locked in an enthralling battle for the Premier League title. The 21-year-old, who progressed through Manchester City’s academy, started the final at left-back and attributed his goalscoring instinct to the early days of his career. “I think since I was a kid, I always played in midfield.
I was always arriving in the box and scoring goals, and to bring it to the senior level and the highest level, for me it adds goals to my game and it’s a great feeling. The Mancunian revealed that he was in “a bit of disbelief seeing all those fans cheering like that when I scored. “A really good feeling and a great weekend, a great birthday weekend,” O’Reilly added.
“My whole family came down today, thery were all in the stands and I know they’ll be buzzing. ”
