Newcastle United won the Carabao Cup final, defeating Liverpool 2-1 at Wembley and ending their decades-long trophy drought. Despite having less possession, Newcastle dominated the game, with Dan Burn scoring just before halftime and Alexander Isak doubling the lead early in the second half. Federico Chiesa pulled one back for Liverpool in stoppage time, but Newcastle held on for victory. This marks Newcastle’s first major trophy since 1969 and their first domestic silverware since 1955. For Liverpool, the loss adds to their recent struggles after being knocked out of the Champions League. Arne Slot faces his first real challenge as Liverpool manager, though his team remains well ahead in the Premier League. Newcastle manager Eddie Howe succeeds where past club legends fell short, delivering long-awaited glory to the Magpies.
