SCOTT CARSON has won his FIFTH trophy since joining Manchester City.
The veteran goalkeeper joined City, initially on loan, in 2019.
Carson, 37, has played just 107 minutes of first team football for Pep Guardiola’s side.
In this time he has picked up two Premier League winners’ medals, an FA Cup and a Champions League.
And on Wednesday night he added a Super Cup to his collection, making it a trophy nearly every 21 minutes of action.
Carson was an unused substitute as City beat Sevilla 5-4 on penalties following a 1-1 draw in Greece.

Although he did feature in one leg of the Reds’ quarter-final win over Juventus that year.
Winning the competition with Man City earlier this year, Carson equalled Paulo Maldini’s stunning record of 18 years between Champions League triumphs.
Carson has made just two appearances for Man City.
