Manchester City 0-0 Chelsea (4-3 on penalties): 5 Talking Points & Tactical Analysis | Carabao Cup Final 2018-19

#1 Ederson outsmarts Chelsea in the shootout

Chelsea v Manchester City - Carabao Cup Final

The match then went to extra time with Chelsea having registered the better chances. Sergio Aguero had the best chance to break the deadlock in added time, once when he forced Kepa at full stretch from outside the box, and the other from four yards out.

Somehow, a save from the keeper and a block from skipper Azpilicueta kept the score line to 0-0. A bizarre incident surrounded the Chelsea custodian, who appeared to have a cramp just before penalties, but refused to go off, much to Sarri's exasperation.

Jorginho stepped up for Chelsea first up, and his hop-and-stop run-up, which seemed to be decoded by Ederson, was easily thwarted. Manchester City scored their next two spot-kicks, between which Azpilicueta fired one in.

On the back of major stoppages and interventions, Kepa flew across brilliantly to deny Sane, but David Luiz only struck the bar. Ederson, although saved two massive efforts, was only outfoxed by the cool of Eden Hazard.

Raheem Sterling sent City to the title with a winning penalty.
