Newcastle United ended their 70-year wait for a domestic trophy on Sunday at Wembley as Liverpool followed this past week's UEFA Champions League round-of-16 exit with a dismal Carabao Cup final performance in a 2-1 defeat against Eddie Howe's team.

Boyhood Newcastle supporter Dan Burn put his team ahead with a stunning long-range header on 45 minutes before Alexander Isak doubled their lead from close range seven minutes into the second half. Federico Chiesa scored a stoppage-time consolation goal for Liverpool.

Having lost to Manchester United in the 2023 Carabao Cup final, Newcastle were determined and dominant throughout this game, and their win secured a first domestic cup since the 1955 FA Cup. The win also ensures that Howe is the first English manager to win a major trophy since Harry Redknapp guided Portsmouth to FA Cup glory in 2008.

Five days after crashing out of the Champions League in a penalty shootout against Paris Saint-Germain at Anfield, Liverpool never looked like retaining the trophy they won under Jürgen Klopp this past season, and Arne Slot's team now have just the Premier League title to play for this term.

Newcastle are no longer the most unsuccessful big club in world football after ending their 70-year domestic trophy drought by beating holders Liverpool in a dominant display at Wembley. Although Newcastle won the now-defunct Inter-Cities Fairs Cup by beating Hungarian team Újpest Dozsa in 1969, the club's supporters have always regarded the 1955 FA Cup final win against Manchester City as their last major trophy.
