Manchester City, which for many minutes was at the mercy of Chelsea, managed to survive, and then prevailed 4—3 in a shootout to win the English Football League Cup final.
With the win, Man City captured its first trophy of the campaign, but three others are still pending as the squad is just one point in back of Liverpool, who leads the English Premier League, and has already gotten into the elimination stages of the Champions League and FA cup quarterfinals.
