Newcastle United have finally ended their long wait for domestic silverware, securing their first major trophy in over half a century with a well-earned Carabao Cup final victory over Liverpool at Wembley.
This triumph not only marks their first domestic success since the 1955 FA Cup but also brings an end to a major trophy drought stretching back to their 1969 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup win.
The Toon Army erupted in celebration as Newcastle delivered a performance worthy of champions. Goals from Dan Burn and Alexander Isak—one on either side of halftime—sealed a victory that will be remembered for generations on Tyneside.
Manager Eddie Howe and his squad now cement their place in club history, with this achievement likely elevating them to legendary status among the St. James’ Park faithful.
Burn, fresh from earning his first England call-up, opened the scoring in first-half stoppage time, rising above the Liverpool defense to power home Kieran Trippier’s pinpoint corner. Shortly after the break, Isak doubled Newcastle’s lead, reacting sharply to Jacob Murphy’s knockdown and finishing clinically past the goalkeeper.
Liverpool, still reeling from their midweek Champions League exit to Paris Saint-Germain on penalties, found a late spark through substitute Federico Chiesa, who pulled one back in stoppage time. However, Newcastle held firm in the dying moments, surviving a tense finish to ensure the trophy was theirs.
This historic victory not only brings long-overdue success to the Magpies but also signals a new era under Eddie Howe’s leadership. For Newcastle fans, the wait is finally over—their club is back among the winners, and the celebrations will surely continue long into the night.
