competition arsenal boss arsene wenger has never won. our sports correspondent natalie pirks is live for us at wembley. arsene wenger had said before the match that this was arsenal's chance to prove they were run sliti's level, and at times it appeared it we re level, and at times it appeared it were not even on the same pitch far less the same league. fans were streaming for the exits next to us with about 20 minutes to go, such was the lacklustre effort. as you said, this does remain the only trophy a loserfor arsene said, this does remain the only trophy a loser for arsene wenger, but this could be the first of many for pep guardiola. the year's first trophy takes on a wider significance, forming the start of a dynasty or being a saving grace. arsene wenger has never won the league cup, but he may not get

many more chances. the poor season of his side has not changed with big spending. manchester city take a more risk is strict, but they had the door unlocked for them for their opener. sergio aguero‘s late finish came through brittle defending. after defeat to wigan on monday, they had a point to prove. manchester city's captain was out to show the brazilians. shackled by injury for most of the season, this was vincent kompa ny‘s injury for most of the season, this was vincent kompany‘s comeback moment. it set up manchester city to their brittle best, but pep guardiola's steps to dominance merely the path to arsene wenger‘s downfall. tea rs downfall. tears for arsenalfans, downfall. tears for arsenal fans, but for pep guardiola he left his players go up and lift the trophy, he did not go

up and lift the trophy, he did not go up with them. he said before and after the match that this was not about him, it was about the team and getting their first trophy of the season. getting their first trophy of the season. the fans i spoke to today are incredibly confident that the way they are playing and dominating the premier league means they are going to get at least two at the three they are going for now. as for arsene wenger and arsenal, they have to recuperate because they have got to recuperate because they have got to play manchester city again in the league injust four days. to play manchester city again in the league in just four days. bad to play manchester city again in the league injust four days. bad luck for them because at the moment you could not see anything more than another dominant city display. pep guardiola was yet again wearing the yellow ribbon, he has been charged by the fa for wearing a political symbol. he's not allowed to wave it at the side of the pitch, but he defiantly really at the side of the pitch, but he defia ntly really wa nt at the side of the pitch, but he defiantly really want it again today in solidarity of those imprisoned in his native catalonia. hundreds of fa ns his native catalonia. hundreds of fans also wearing yellow ribbons

today in solidarity for pep guardiola. it today in solidarity for pep it isa today in solidarity for pep it is a message the fans have taken the heart, they love him and they are very happy with what he's doing with their club. manchester united have moved back to second in the premier league after coming from a goal down to beat chelsea 2—1. jessie lingard scored the second half winner as jose mourinho and chelsea boss antonio conte renewed rivalries at old trafford. ade adedoyin was watching. a match up is as much about the rivalry between two teams as the managers. a brief handshake, butjose mourinho and into conte‘s relationship has been like the weather, frosty. a lively start with the bar are being rattled in three minutes.

eden hazard put chelsea ahead later. conte would not be happy with what happened next, as romelu lukaku scored his first goal against the side, to make it 1—1 at the break. he nearly made it two, with this acrobatic effort. a few minutes later, romelu lukaku became the creator. a fine cross and finish. jose mourinho‘s men hung on for the win, with victory against his old club. very special because we beat the champions, we beat a fantastic team that is very difficult to beat. these three points are the ones that keep us in second position, which is the position we're fighting for. that opens up the gap a little bit to chelsea. it is a very important result for us. the problem is you must be the best team at the end of the game, not only after the first half. we had a great chance today to get three points here.

but we were not able to do this. chelsea's defeat means they've been overta ken by tottenha m, who left it late to beat struggling crystal palace. it threatened to be a frustrating afternoon for spurs, despite their dominance. even harry kane wasn't at his lethal goal—scoring best. although perhaps that miss doesn't look so bad up against serge aurier‘s bungled effort. but kane did come up with a goal for tottenham in the 88th minute, heading in christian erikssen's corner for the 150th goal of his club career. i feel really bad for the players because i think that after the game, you see them in the dressing room and how disappointed and flat they are, and how frustrated that they could not just see the game to be the last few minutes, and as a coach and manager you do not quite know what to say to them because praising

them for the performance does not mean much when you know that the performance is not giving you anything in terms of points. celtic have restored a nine—point lead at the top of the scottish premiership after beating aberdeen 2—0 at pittodrie. moussa dembele headed injames forrest's cross from close range to give celtic a 1—0 lead at half—time. he then set up kieran tierney for their second, giving celtic their tenth win in a row against the dons — who stay in third place in the league. great britain is celebrating a record haul of medals at the end of the winter olympics in south korea. the team was unable to add to its tally of five medals on the final day but it's a games that will live long in the memory after a spectacular closing ceremony. andy swiss reports. britain's olympicjourney britain's olympic journey has britain's olympicjourney has not a lwa ys britain's olympicjourney has not always been the smoothest. 17th and 18th for the much touted bobsleigh team, a disappointing finish. but there have been medals. yarn old wins gold again. —— yah yarnold wins

gold! after some £30 million of funding, they have not come cheap, but the team believe they are worth it. this is a historic game for us, oui’ it. this is a historic game for us, our best ever winter olympics, and back—to—back gold medals for lizzy yarnold. the drama came in the men's ice hockey, one with a golden goal. the olympic athletes from russia beat germany, and they certainly enjoyed it. but the greatest feat came in the cross—country skiing. this is a very special moment for all of us to witness. norway sealed their place at the top of the medals table, thanks to the most decorated winter olympian of all time. a glorious finale, winning her 15th medal. a spectacular end to a winter olympic games that's awesome
