Comments:

At 35 years and 146 days, Zlatan Ibrahimović became the second-oldest scorer in a League Cup Final after Stoke City's George Eastham in 1972 against Chelsea, aged 35 years and 162 days. Zlatan had now scored 89 goals in his last 100 club appearances, 17 goals more than any other Manchester United player so far in this season and 20 goals in his last 22 games. In their 139-year history and with his 24th major trophy in club management, José Mourinho became the first-ever United manager to win a major trophy in his first season in charge. This was the fourth time he had won the League Cup; a joint-record for a manager along with Brian Clough and Sir Alex Ferguson. Having previously lifted the trophy with Chelsea, José also joined Joe Mercer (Aston Villa and Manchester City), Ron Atkinson (Sheffield Wednesday and Aston Villa) and George Graham (Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur) to win the trophy with different clubs. Jesse Lingard had now scored three of his ten goals for United at Wembley.

Comments:

Southampton had become only the second team to reach a League Cup Final without conceding a goal (also Tottenham Hotspur in 1981-82 who lost 1-3 to Liverpool in the Final). Claude Puel had only reached one other major domestic cup final during his managerial career when taking AS Monaco to the Final of the French League Cup in 2001 (they lost 2-1 in extra-time to Olympique Lyonnais). This was the Saints’ first appearance at Wembley since winning the Football League Trophy in March 2010 against Carlisle United. Manolo Gabbiadini became the fourth Italian to score in the League Cup Final after Fabrizio Ravanelli (Middlesbrough), Roberto Di Matteo (Chelsea) and Fabio Borini (Sunderland). He also became the first player to score in his first three appearances for Southampton since Henri Camara in February 2005.
