Newcastle United beat Liverpool to register their first domestic trophy in 70 years. The 2-1 win in the Carabao Cup against Liverpool ended their 70 years of search for a domestic trophy. Thousands of Magpies fans flooded the capital to watch their team end their drought against last year’s winners at Wembley.
Newcastle United Wins Domestic Trophy After 70 Years
Newcastle United lifted the European Inter-City Fairs Cup in 1969 but haven’t won a domestic trophy since their 1955 FA Cup victory. This victory for them is very important as they now see it as an opening to other trophies.
Liverpool, who have won 38 major trophies since the Black and Whites last got their hands on any silverware, went into the match as heavy favourites.
The last time the teams met, in the league last month, Liverpool beat them 2-0 but today was different. Newcastle United joined PSG to end Liverpool quadruple hopes and all they have left to hold now is the Premier League. Newcastle United had the best of the first half and got their reward as Dan Burn headed home from a corner before half time.
They found the back of the net again early in the second half through their star man Alexander Isak. The staiker struck and doubled Newcastle’s lead. Liverpool gave themselves a lifeline in stoppage time with a goal from Federico Chiesa after a tense VAR check but Newcastle held on to secure the win.
Bruno Guimaraes described his side’s win as “one of the best days” he also said: “It’s a lot for these fans, they deserve everything.” “For them this is like the World Cup. People have not seen Newcastle as champions. We are here to make history and I’m very happy. We deserve this, this is unbelievable.”
