LONDON: Pep Guardiola hailed his Manchester City side’s desire to leave a lasting legacy after lifting a third straight League Cup by beating Aston Villa 2-1 at Wembley on Sunday thanks to goals from Sergio Aguero and Rodrigo.
“For this club it is not just about one title it is about showing every game we play counts and we want to win. “I’m disappointed. Everyone wrote us off, but there was a lot of belief in that dressing room,” said Villa boss Dean Smith.Guardiola made eight changes from the side that won 2-1 at Real Madrid in the Champions League on Wednesday with Kevin de Bruyne among those left on the bench.
Rodrigo’s fine pass picked out Foden to head back into the path of Aguero and the Argentine’s deflected effort beat Orjan Nyland in the Villa goal to open the scoring on 20 minutes. Sterling had a glorious chance for his first goal of 2020 deflected behind by a brave block from Tyrone Mings.
