Manchester City midfielder Fernandinho has insisted that his side deserved their victory over Liverpool in the League Cup final at Wembley this afternoon.
The Brazilian opened the scoring in the early stages of the first half, but Philippe Coutinho's late equaliser for the Reds took the game to extra time and eventually penalties.
Wilfredo Caballero, whose inclusion was questioned before the match, proved to be the hero with three saves in the shootout, and Fernandinho reserved special praise for the second-choice goalkeeper.
"After all it feels very good - the emotion. The team worked very hard and we deserved victory," he told BBC Radio 5 live.
"Caballero - amazing today. He was so fast and waited to the last second to go to the ball and he did it very well. We are very happy.
"I hope we can win more trophies. Now it is time to think about the next Premier League game and then it is the Champions League."
Fernandinho was the only Man City player to miss in the shootout, with Jesus Navas, Sergio Aguero and Yaya Toure all scoring from the spot to secure the victory.
