Seventy years of hurt have come to an end – Newcastle United have been crowned Carabao Cup final on a historic day.
The Magpies ended their Wembley hoodoo with a 2-1 win over Liverpool as well-taken goals from Dan Burn and Alexander Isak secured a victory that will go down as one of the greatest in the club’s history. Fans and players alike were in tears at the final whistle – which came as a relief after a late Liverpool goal set up a nervy finish, which was navigated perfectly by Eddie Howe’s side.
It was a near-perfect performance from Newcastle, who kept things tight against the runaway Premier League leaders before opening the scoring just before half-time thanks to Burn’s superb header.
Liverpool were unable to cope with Newcastle’s aerial threat in attack and, shortly after Isak had seen a goal ruled out for offside, the striker fired home with a sweetly-taken finish to ensure the trophy was finally heading back to the north east.
Whether in Wembley or watching from abroad, there’ll be plenty of members of the Toon Army who will have been left speechless by the success, such is the long wait they’ve had to see their team lift a major trophy.
