Arsenal’s unfortunate pattern has begun to take shape again, and this time it comes with silverware on the line. Mikel Arteta’s side lost 2–0 to Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley, with Nico O’Reilly scoring twice in four minutes of the second half to decide the game.

For a team leading the Premier League, in the Champions League quarter-finals against Sporting CP, and still in the FA Cup, this was an obvious result. Instead, their quadruple hopes are dashed, and questions about handling big games are back.

The first half was controlled but flat. Arsenal had more possession but did little with it. The city stood tight and waited for errors.

Just after the hour mark the game turned, and quickly.

Kepa’s scary night at Wembley

Arteta stuck with Kepa Arrizabalaga, who had played every round of the competition. The decision did not work.

Kepa looked uncertain early in the second half when he ran in and fouled Jeremy Doku, earning him a yellow card.

In the 60th minute he made an even bigger mistake. A routine cross slipped through his hands and fell to Nico O’Reilly, who gave City the lead.

After four minutes the score was 2-0. Matthias Nunes delivered a cross and O’Reilly scored again with a clean header.

Arsenal pushed forward but lacked quality in the final third. He hit the bar late on but couldn’t do enough to trouble City.

Kepa’s errors changed the game and Arsenal never recovered.

Nico O’Reilly extends Dream Week

Nico O’Reilly made the difference.

The 21-year-old scored both goals in quick succession to book a place in the final. His first reaction came by reacting to Kepa’s mistake. The second was a well-timed header from Nunes’ cross.

It’s been a strong week for the youngster after joining the England squad and celebrating his birthday.

For Guardiola, this is his fifth League Cup title, the most by any manager in the competition.

City won their first trophy of the season.

Arsenal remain in the race for the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup titles. But this result ruins their chances of winning it all and the focus turns to how they perform in the deciding games.

Delaware takes the top spot.New York has moved up two places to third among the states most likely to be kidnapped by aliens in the United States, according to Casino.ca’s annual rankings Published to mark National Alien Abduction Day on March 20. Gambling Guide compiled the list by sorting through 150,000 viewed entries National UFO Reporting Center Cross-referenced with social media data for details of sightings, to calculate UFO sightings per capita in all fifty states, covering the period between 1974 and 2026. The list comes at a moment of renewed public interest in UFOs and extraterrestrial life, just weeks after Pres. donald trump Days after federal agencies were ordered to release classified government files on extraterrestrial life and UFOs, and two new federal government website domains related to aliens were registered by a US agency, new speculation has intensified about what the government is preparing to reveal.

Delaware takes the top spot this year, moving up from fourth place last year, with 1,097 reported sightings since 1974, one for every 928 residents, and frequent reports of mysterious flying cylinders with flashing lights above homes. Washington state, which held the top spot last year, has slipped to second place with 7,595 cases, or one for every 977 residents.

The number of sightings in New York puts it in third place at 8,314, with recent reports including one witness describing “a white, Tic-Tac-shaped object in the sky” and another reporting “a silver sphere flying overhead”. A trio of mysterious luminous points were also seen hovering over Corona, Queens, which coincidentally was the location of the climactic final scene of the 1997 science fiction film Men in Black, sparking a new wave of online speculation.The overall top ten is as follows: Delaware, one scene per 928 residents; Washington, one per 977; New York, one per 1,003; Oregon, one per 1,054; Florida, one per 1,102; Texas, one per 1,119; Montana, one per 1,125; Vermont, one per 1,158; New Mexico, one per 1,169; and Georgia, one per 1,260.Nevada, home of Area 51 and long associated with UFO mythology, ranked 19th with one sighting per 1,657 residents. California ranked 22nd, with one per 1,708. Louisiana is the state least likely to have a close encounter, with one sighting per 3,464 residents.

what do the numbers mean

Across the United States, Casino.ca identified 187,870 UFO sightings reported since 1974, making the national probability of alien abduction about one in 1,770, or 0.056 percent. For context, the chance of being attacked by a shark is approximately one in 11.5 million. Dennis Anderson, a former member of the Center for UFO Studies, attributed New York’s high sighting numbers primarily to population density, adding that the sheer number of people in the state means more residents are seeing things in the sky that they cannot easily identify. The data used in Casino.ca’s rankings was updated and verified as of March 11, 2026 and is based solely on sightings rather than any verified evidence of foreign activity. National Alien Abduction Day, observed on March 20, has no official government recognition.

Meanwhile, in Washington

The publication of the rankings coincides with a separate development that has further heightened the week’s supernatural conversation. Two federal website domains, Alien.gov and Aliens.gov, were registered by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency on March 17. As of March 19, none of the sites are live. Asked about the domain, White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly told USA TODAY: “Stay tuned!” The domains come less than a month after Trump said he would order federal agencies to release government files on extraterrestrial life and UFOs, comments he made in response to a statement by former President Barack Obama. Podcast with Brian Tyler CohenHe believes that extraterrestrial life exists, but has never personally seen evidence of it.Trump criticized Obama for releasing what he described as “classified information.” Some UAP documents have already been made publicly available National Archives The bill is due to be signed into law by former President Joe Biden in 2023, and Congress has held three hearings on the topic since that year. The federal government has not explained why the two domains were created.

Said in a very provocative statement, Abdul BasitPakistan’s former High Commissioner to India has said that attacking Indian cities like New Delhi and Mumbai should be Islamabad’s “default move” if the country is attacked by the US.Basit said in an interview to a local Pakistani channel, “The US will not attack Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal. Even if we assume that in a hypothetical situation the US attacks Pakistan, we will not be able to retaliate because the US does not come within our nuclear range. (Asking a TV anchor) What do you think will be our option then? India.” He told ABN News, “If anyone casts an evil eye on us, we will attack Mumbai and New Delhi in India without thinking. We will see whatever happens later.”The former envoy turned defense strategist further said, “At the moment, neither the US nor Israel is under our nuclear range. But the world should know that if we come under attack, we will in turn attack India wherever we wish.” Basit made this controversial comment while reacting to US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s recent statement before the Senate Intelligence Committee, in which she had said that Pakistan’s long-range ballistic missile program could pose a threat to the US homeland.Some media reports also quoted Basit as saying that Gabbard’s “anti-Pakistan” worldview was a known fact. He reportedly said, “Pakistan’s deterrence capability is India-specific. Tulsi Gabbard saw our missiles, but not India’s Agni-5 and Agni-6. They are intercontinental missiles.”Presenting the Annual Threat Assessment to 2026 before the House Intelligence Committee, Gabbard had said that Pakistan is among the countries that are “researching and developing a range of new advanced or conventional missile delivery systems with nuclear and conventional payloads that keep our homeland within range”.According to the Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation, Pakistan has six types of nuclear-capable ballistic missiles. Its overall arsenal consists primarily of short- to medium-range ballistic missiles, but it is making significant progress in strengthening its cruise missile capabilities. Its ground arsenal consists of 106 land-based missiles with a capacity of 5-40 kt. Pakistan’s roadmobile ballistic missiles include the short-range Abdali, Ghaznavi, Shaheen-1 and NASR as well as the medium-range Shaheen-2 and Ghauri. The Shaheen-3 and Ababil medium-range ballistic missiles (MRBMs) are currently under development.The longest range Shaheen-3 can hit targets up to 2,750 km. But Shaheen-3 is not an ICBM. For a ballistic missile to be called an ICBM, it must have a minimum range of more than 5,500 km. The distance between America and Pakistan is more than 11,200 km.Reacting sharply to Basit’s statement, BJP national spokesperson Tuhin Sinha said on Sunday, “Abdul Basit’s threat that Delhi and Mumbai will be bombed by Pakistan shows that Pakistan is still shaken by the attacks during Operation Sindoor.” He has lost his mental balance.”Shortly after Gabbard’s statement, Pakistan Foreign Ministry spokesman Tahir Andrabi said, “Pakistan categorically rejects the recent claim by a US official alleging a potential threat from Pakistan’s missile capabilities.” Pakistan’s strategic capabilities are “exclusively defensive” in nature, he said, and are aimed at “protecting national sovereignty and maintaining peace and stability in South Asia”.
