Newcastle United has finally ended their long wait for a major trophy after defeating Liverpool 2-1 in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley Stadium on Sunday. The victory marks Newcastle’s first silverware in 56 years, bringing an end to decades of frustration for the club and its fans.
Newcastle took the lead late in the first half when Dan Burn, left unmarked in the box, powered a header past Liverpool’s goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher. The Magpies continued to push forward in the second half, and their efforts were rewarded when Alexander Isak found the back of the net, doubling their advantage with a well-placed shot.
Liverpool, who had been struggling to find their rhythm, managed to pull one back in stoppage time through Federico Chiesa, but it was too late to change the outcome. Newcastle held firm to secure their long-awaited triumph.
The win is historic for Newcastle, not only as their first major domestic trophy since the 1955 FA Cup but also because it represents a turning point for a club that has faced years of disappointment. Before this victory, Newcastle had lost several key finals, including the 2023 Carabao Cup final against Manchester United.
