On Sunday afternoon at Wembley Manchester City claimed the first piece of silverware this season beating Liverpool 3-1 on penalties after an enthralling Capital One Cup final.
After an edgy start, Manuel Pellegrini’s men grew into the game and had the first real chance when Sergio Aguero ran at the Liverpool defence and hit the post. City did eventually take the lead thanks to Fernandinho who put a low shot past Simon Mignolet.

Here are four conclusions from Sunday’s game.
