Eddie Howe's men sealed a famous 2-1 win over the league leaders to lift their first piece of silverware for 70 years thanks to goals from Dan Burn and Alexander Isak - with Federico Chiesa pulling one back.

It was the first time Newcastle have won a trophy since the FA Cup in 1955 and iconic figure Shearer was in the stands at Wembley to witness it - with the former striker enjoying some boozy celebrations long into the night.

The Match of the Day pundit admitted he was "p****d" as he posted a series of jubilant tweets in the aftermath - teasing Liverpool in one of them by claiming Newcastle "smashed" Arne Slot's team.

.

Liverpool are a great club and will win the league and have been brilliant this season but the Geordies absolutely smashed them today and deserved it."

"I'm predicting Newcastle to win 2-1, in normal time," the former striker said, speaking to Betfair.

If we win, I'll be happy and emotional, because I've always said that I need and want to see this football club win a trophy in my lifetime.

I'm 54 years of age, nearly 55, and I haven't seen us win a trophy.

"I was born in 1970, they won the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup the year before I was born, so I need to see this club win a trophy at some stage!"
