Tottenham Hotspur lost today’s Carabao Cup final to Manchester City – and Mesut Ozil can’t resist a cheeky pop.

Spurs made the short trip to Wembley in search of a first trophy since winning the Carling Cup back in 2008.

They were second best against Pep Guardiola’s side though, and lost 1-0 as Aymeric Laporte headed City’s winner in the second half.

Interim boss Ryan Mason was given a pretty daunting task to go up against Guardiola in just his second game in charge, and he couldn’t get his side meshing in attack.

With no trophies in 13 years, Tottenham are once again being mocked – even if the circumstances of today’s defeat were understandable.

Spurs are often mocked for having a dusty trophy cabinet given it hasn’t had any new additions for more than a decade, and ex-Arsenal ace Ozil had to join in.

Now with Fenerbahce, Ozil took to Twitter to mock Tottenham with just three words – ‘it remains dusty…’ as they lost another chance at silverware.

Ozil may have left Arsenal earlier this season, but it’s clear that his allegiances still very much lie with the red side of North London.
