Mbwama Samatta pulled one back for the Villans with a header after error-prone defender John Stones fell over when dealing with a routine long ball.
Pep Guardiola’s side were by far the better team but nearly got taken to extra-time when Bjorn Engels rose brilliantly to head a corner from the right at goal but stand-in City keeper Claudio Bravo expertly saved the ball onto the post.
It was a let-off for City but they were the deserving winners to earn a third straight Carabao Cup and win five of the last seven League Cups on offer.
Left-back Mendy didn’t play any of the showpiece match but was understandably in high spirits after the game.
He has a reputation as a joker and his actions after City lifted the cup saw him live up to his repuatation.
The cameras filmed Mendy with a camera taking pictures while on the Wembley turf, and it turns out he’d nicked it off a photographer!
Mendy is then seen teasing the woman who is clearly claiming ownership of the camera.
Below you can see pictures of how Mendy’s practical joke unfolded as well as the video which caught the whole thing.
