Newcastle Ends Trophy Drought with Historic Carabao Cup Triumph
Newcastle United has finally ended a 70-year wait for a domestic trophy, securing their first major title since 1969 with a well-deserved victory over Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley.
The Magpies’ supporters erupted in celebration as Dan Burn and Alexander Isak found the net on either side of halftime, delivering a momentous win that cements Eddie Howe’s squad in the club’s history books.
Burn, recently called up to the England national team, opened the scoring with a powerful header from Kieran Trippier’s corner just before the break. Isak then extended Newcastle’s lead early in the second half, clinically finishing after a well-placed knockdown from Jacob Murphy.
Liverpool, still recovering from their Champions League exit to Paris Saint-Germain earlier in the week, managed a late consolation goal through substitute Federico Chiesa in injury time. However, Newcastle held firm under pressure, ensuring their first domestic cup triumph since their FA Cup victory in 1955 and their first significant silverware since winning the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup in 1969.
Howe’s Legacy Secured in Newcastle History
As the final whistle blew, Newcastle’s long-suffering fans erupted in jubilation, marking the end of a decades-long trophy drought.
This victory will be remembered as one of the club’s defining moments, solidifying Eddie Howe’s place in Newcastle folklore as the manager who guided them to long-awaited glory. Additionally, their triumph guarantees them a place in European competition next season.
Throughout the game, Newcastle showcased greater energy and attacking intent compared to an uninspired Liverpool side. Although Chiesa’s late goal—validated by VAR—created some tension in the closing moments, Newcastle remained resilient.
For Burn, a lifelong Newcastle supporter, this victory capped off a remarkable week. Having just received his first England call-up under new manager Thomas Tuchel, the 32-year-old defender took advantage of Liverpool’s defensive lapse to head home the opener.
Isak’s composed finish doubled the lead, giving Newcastle crucial breathing space. Meanwhile, Joelinton played a pivotal role in midfield, disrupting Liverpool’s rhythm and driving his team forward with a commanding performance.
This victory not only ends Newcastle’s long trophy drought but also breaks a string of nine consecutive Wembley defeats, dating back to their last FA Cup triumph. Celebrations erupted at Wembley and are set to continue long into the night in Tyneside.
Liverpool’s Struggles Continue
Despite being Premier League frontrunners, Liverpool’s hopes of securing multiple trophies took a major hit this week.
After crashing out of the Champions League against PSG, their Carabao Cup ambitions were also shattered by a dominant Newcastle performance.
While the final scoreline suggests a close match, the reality was different—Liverpool looked sluggish and uninspired, with Chiesa’s late goal never truly threatening a comeback.
Mohamed Salah was neutralized by Tino Livramento, while Burn’s opening goal highlighted Liverpool’s defensive frailties. The task of marking the towering defender fell to Alexis Mac Allister—one of the smallest players on the pitch—exposing a critical tactical error.
Liverpool’s midfield struggled to cope with Newcastle’s intensity, and they were punished again when Isak doubled the lead.
Arne Slot’s squad now appears fatigued, and he will be hoping the upcoming international break provides them with much-needed recovery time. While Liverpool remains in pole position to claim a record-equalling 20th league title, this cup final defeat concludes an otherwise impress
ive season on a disappointing note.
