"Mikel Arteta did not make a mistake by starting Kepa in goal instead of David Raya. Kepa is a top goalkeeper and whilst his mistake cost Arsenal a goal, it wasn't the only reason why the Gunners lost the game. Arsenal started to sit back in the second half and they invited pressure from Manchester City."
"Whenever they got the ball, they were adamant in playing from the back and they were punished for it. If Kai Havertz had scored his early chance in the game, it could've been a completely different result."
Bacary Sagna commented on Arsenal's loss in the Carabao Cup final, attributing it to a lack of initiative in the second half. Kepa Arrizabalaga made a mistake leading to Manchester City's first goal, but Sagna emphasized that this was not the sole reason for the defeat. He noted that Arsenal's tendency to sit back invited pressure from City. Sagna also mentioned a missed opportunity by Kai Havertz that could have changed the game's outcome, praising Manchester City's goalkeeper James Trafford for his performance.
