Remarkably, given he is only 20 years old, this was his seventh major club trophy - a fourth League Cup adding to the two Premier League titles and one FA Cup success he can list on an already glittering CV. Manchester City completely merited a historic fourth successive win in this competition, Spurs somehow surviving until the 82nd minute before conceding despite being largely outclassed from the start. It was defender Aymeric Laporte - heading Kevin de Bruyne's free-kick beyond defiant keeper Hugo Lloris - who secured City's deserved success. He has helped make the return of the Premier League title to Etihad Stadium now a formality. Foden is a player for all occasions - and there can be no doubt he will be a pivotal figure as City attempt to add the Champions League to this Carabao Cup success and the inevitable Premier League triumph, which could be confirmed next weekend.
