LONDON -- Three thoughts on Man City's penalty shoot-out win over Liverpool to clinch the Capital One Cup at Wembley...
1. Yaya Toure seals it for City
Jurgen Klopp sat alone in the stands, knowing he could do nothing about his team's fate. And for the first time in Liverpool's history, at the sixth time of asking, they lost a cup final on penalties. Willy Caballero was the hero for Manchester City, saving spot-kicks from Lucas Leiva, Philippe Coutinho and Adam Lallana. It fell to Yaya Toure to convert the winner.
In winning their fourth League Cup, City had ridden out a comeback from Liverpool, who equalised just when it seemed Manuel Pellegrini's team, and their superior talent, had seen out the day.
