The EFL Cup marks the first trophy Semenyo, 26, has won since joining Pep Guardiola’s side from Bournemouth in January.

Semenyo was a constant threat throughout the game, causing Hincapie plenty of problem before Mikel Arteta took him off in the 65th minute.

Speaking to Sky Sports after the game, Semenyo aimed a sly dig at the Arsenal defender, saying: “I just have that freedom to do what I want (on the wing), get at defenders and cause problems, I had Hincapie running around a little bit…"

Ian Wright, who was on punditry duty, then interrupted and joked: "You had him on his hind legs bro!"

Semenyo then responded with: "That’s just what I do. As soon as he got booked, he was backing off a lot, so it gave me the opportunity to drive at him and get in the box."
