The day after turning 21, the full-back was decisive, scoring both goals in Manchester City's victory over Arsenal in the English League Cup final. After the match, the Englishman did not hide his happiness. "It's an unbelievable feeling. We won a final, we beat this team, which we know is very good. We have to build from here; it will be good for us. I'm absolutely thrilled," he began. "I could hardly believe it when I saw the fans celebrating like that. It felt amazing; it was a great birthday weekend," O'Reilly continued, mentioning that he could hardly wait to celebrate with his family. The Englishman is on a scoring streak, with five goals in the last eight matches. This does not surprise him: "Since I was little, I played in midfield, always getting into the box and scoring goals. Doing it as a senior and at the highest level is great for me. It's a fantastic feeling," he concluded.
