Newcastle United ends decades of frustration with a stunning 2-1 victory over Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley. The Magpies lift their first domestic trophy since 1955, marking a momentous milestone in the club’s history.
The match started as a tense, evenly contested affair, but Newcastle struck just before halftime. Trippier delivered a pinpoint corner, and Burn rose above his marker to head the ball into the bottom corner, sending the black-and-white fans into delirium.
Liverpool struggled to react, and their woes deepened early in the second half. Isak saw a goal ruled out for offside in the 51st minute, but the warning went unheeded. Just a minute later, the Swedish forward capitalized on a Murphy header, slotting home with precision to double Newcastle’s lead.

Desperate to turn things around, Slot made a flurry of substitutions, bringing on Nunez, Gakpo, Jones, Elliott, and even Federico Chiesa. The former Juventus star managed to pull one back in the 94th minute, offering a glimmer of hope, but time ran out for the Reds.
As the final whistle blew, Newcastle erupted in celebration, finally breaking a 70-year trophy drought. Meanwhile, Liverpool’s season took another hit, leaving them with only the Premier League title race to focus on after a disastrous week that also saw them crash out of the Champions League.
