Summary
Jimbo has Tim Spiers, Jay Harris and Luis Miguel Echegaray for company as the first silverware of the season in England is handed out.
It’s Manchester City who claim the Carabao Cup thanks to a brace from Nico O’Reilly. What happened to league leaders Arsenal? And did Mikel Arteta make a mistake by starting Kepa?
It was a cup final atmosphere elsewhere in North London but it was Forest who took home a massive 3 points at Spurs in the battle to survive. Are Tottenham doomed?
The only positive for Spurs is that West Ham also lost and stay below them in the relegation zone. Villa the big winners in the Champions League race this weekend.
That’s because Liverpool lost at Brighton and Chelsea were taken apart by Everton. Are the Blues set to miss out on Champions League football? What will that mean for Liam Rosenior? And could it be David Moyes managing in Europe’s premier club competition next season?
Produced by Charlie Jones and Lucy Oliva
