Manchester City’s awesome League Cup foursome – Football Weekly

We start with the League Cup final, as Manchester City thrash Tottenham Hotspur by a single goal. The result is Pep Guardiola’s 30th trophy as a manager, and means City have won the competition for a fourth consecutive time. We ask what this result means for Spurs’ key players.

We then look at the Premier League, as Chelsea open up a gap in the race for the Champions League. Max also has a great quiz on countries for whom only one player has scored a Premier League hat-trick. It’s a closely fought contest between Jonathan, Barry and Nicky.

Finally, we discuss the importance of watching football with friends and family, before getting into the minutiae of super soakers, TV detectives and St Johnstone goalkeeper Zander Clark, who assisted an 122nd minute equaliser and helped win his team a penalty shoot-out at Rangers.
