Newcastle United secured their first domestic trophy in 70 years, defeating Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley. The victory also marked their first major title since 1969, sending fans into jubilation. Goals from Dan Burn and Alexander Isak ensured a historic win, cementing manager Eddie Howe and his squad’s place in club folklore.
Newcastle’s Triumph at Wembley
From the start, Newcastle played with energy and determination, outclassing a lackluster Liverpool side. Dan Burn celebrated his recent England call-up in style, scoring in first-half stoppage time with a towering header from Kieran Trippier’s corner.
Early in the second half, Jacob Murphy set up Alexander Isak, who finished clinically to double Newcastle’s lead. Federico Chiesa pulled one back for Liverpool in stoppage time, but Newcastle held firm to secure their long-awaited silverware.

Howe Leads Newcastle to Glory
When the final whistle blew, Wembley erupted with joy as Newcastle ended a 56-year wait for a trophy. The win means more than just silverware—it guarantees European football next season and solidifies Eddie Howe’s legacy.
Howe’s men showed dominance across the pitch. Joelinton delivered a standout performance, controlling midfield battles and rallying fans with his relentless work rate. The victory also snapped Newcastle’s painful streak of nine consecutive Wembley defeats, making the moment even sweeter.
For the Toon Army, the celebrations will last long beyond Wembley, stretching all the way back to Tyneside.
Liverpool’s Disappointing Week Continues
Despite being favorites, Liverpool struggled to match Newcastle’s intensity. Their hopes of adding more silverware this season faded after their Champions League exit to PSG earlier in the week.
On Sunday, Liverpool lacked sharpness. Even Chiesa’s late goal failed to spark a real comeback. Mohamed Salah was neutralized by Tino Livramento, and Liverpool’s defense fell apart when Burn capitalized on poor marking for the opener.
Midfield battles were another weak point, as Liverpool’s players looked fatigued and overwhelmed. Newcastle’s aggressive pressing left them with little room to operate.
Manager Arne Slot now faces the challenge of regrouping his squad during the international break. While Liverpool remains on track for the Premier League title, this defeat caps off a frustrating week.
A Night to Remember for Newcastle
This victory marks the start of a new chapter for Newcastle. Eddie Howe’s leadership has transformed the club, and this trophy could be the first of many under his guidance. With a place in European competitions next season, the Magpies now have a platform to build on their success.
For Newcastle fans, this wasn’t just a cup final—it was a historic moment that will be remembered for generations.
