What a day! Newcastle United have ended their 70-year wait for a major domestic trophy, lifting the Carabao Cup after a stunning 2-1 win over Liverpool at Wembley! Eddie Howe’s men delivered a performance for the ages, and as a die-hard fan, I’m telling you now – this is one for the history books.
Dan Burn, fresh off an England call-up, smashed in a bullet header from a corner (zonal marking nightmare for Liverpool, by the way) and Alexander Isak showed pure class to double the lead. Liverpool? They were nowhere near it. Chiesa grabbed a late goal, but honestly, it flattered them. Newcastle dominated from start to finish, outmuscling, outrunning, and outplaying the so-called “best team in the Premier League this season.”
Eddie Howe was buzzing post-match – drenched in beer courtesy of Joelinton and the lads – and rightly so! He’s now the first English manager since Harry Redknapp in 2008 to lift a major trophy. And let’s not ignore the midfield duo of Bruno Guimarães and Joelinton – absolute monsters. They controlled every blade of grass.
“We can mix it with the very, very best,” Howe said. And he’s spot on. This wasn’t a smash-and-grab – this was Newcastle announcing themselves back at the big table. Legends are being written in black and white, and this is just the beginning.
Oh, and guess what? UEFA Conference League spot secured for next season too. From 1955 FA Cup winners to 2025 Carabao Cup champions – Toon Army, this is OUR moment!
