since 4th December 2025.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leeds and Brentford shared the points in a goalless draw at Elland Road. While the Bees missed the chance to seriously strengthen their push for a Champions League spot, they claimed another valuable point away from home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since 4th December, Keith Andrews&#8217; troops have won five and drawn one of their eight matches on the road, with only Arsenal collecting more points in that time &#8211; the Gunners have played a game more &#8211; while no side has accrued more away wins during this period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Brentford striker Igor Thiago was unable to add to his impressive goal tally, he did win 12 aerial duels during the game, which is the joint most by a Bees player in a Premier League match since their promotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bonus-pep-makes-history-again\">Bonus: Pep makes history (again)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A second-half brace from Man City\u2019s young star Nico O\u2019Reilly gave Manchester City a 2-0 win over Arsenal in the Carabao Cup final. No Premier League defender has scored more goals across all competitions this season than the recently turned 21-year-old who has eight goals to his name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The win saw Pep Guardiola become the first manager to lift five League Cups, surpassing the tallies or Alex Ferguson, Jose Mourinho, and Brian Clough (all on four).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arsenal, meanwhile, have now lost their last four League Cup finals and have been runners-up a record seven times in the competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mikel Arteta\u2019s decision to play Kepa over David Raya has been heavily scrutinised, but Guardiola got his own keeper decision spot on, as\u00a0James Trafford &#8211; who made a stunning three part save in the first-half &#8211; became the youngest English goalkeeper to keep a clean sheet in an EFL Cup final in 48 years (23 years and 163 days old).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The only, very minor, blip was Erling Haaland once again going goalless in a final (ninth) for Man City, while he&#8217;s still never scored for the club at Wembley (six games).
