New Delhi: Newcastle United finally ended their long wait for silverware, beating Liverpool 2-1 at Wembley to win the Carabao Cup. It was their first major domestic trophy since lifting the FA Cup in 1955, and their first piece of silverware since the 1969 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup. The Magpies had come close before, losing in multiple finals, including last year’s defeat to Manchester United. But this time, they got the job done.
Dan Burn’s towering header just before half-time and Alexander Isak’s cool finish early in the second half put Newcastle in control. Federico Chiesa pulled one back deep into stoppage time, but Eddie Howe’s men held on to create history. The Newcastle fans took over Wembley, and when the final whistle blew, decades of frustration turned into wild celebrations.

Newcastle started strong, showing no signs of nerves. Jacob Murphy and Sandro Tonali both tested Caoimhín Kelleher from distance, while Liverpool struggled to create chances. Bruno Guimaraes had a header saved, and Kieran Trippier saw his shot blocked. It felt like Newcastle were the team pushing for the breakthrough, and they got it right before the break.
From a Trippier corner, Burn arrived late in the box and powered a header through a crowded area, sending the black and white end of Wembley into a frenzy. The boyhood Newcastle fan, playing in his 100th game for the club, had just written himself into history.
Liverpool made changes in the second half, but Newcastle struck again. Murphy nodded Tino Livramento’s cross into Isak’s path, and the Swedish striker calmly slotted home his 58th goal for the club. Newcastle fans could sense glory, and despite a late scare when Chiesa scored in stoppage time, the Magpies held firm.
The final whistle brought an eruption of joy. Howe had spoken before the match about making history, and his players delivered. After years of heartbreak, Newcastle are finally winners again.
