Nico O'Reilly savoured a weekend to remember after the Manchester City defender's double sealed a 2-0 win over Arsenal in the League Cup final on Sunday -- just 24 hours after his birthday. O'Reilly turned 21 on Saturday and followed his birthday celebration with a man of the match performance at Wembley. 

The left-back punished a mistake from Arsenal goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga to open the scoring with a close-range header on the hour. And O'Reilly struck again with another header four minutes later to give City their ninth League Cup triumph.
