Boyhood Newcastle fan Dan Burn set Newcastle on course for victory at Wembley
Newcastle ended their 70-year wait for a major domestic trophy as they beat holders Liverpool 2-1 at Wembley to win the Carabao Cup final.
The Magpies won the 1955 FA Cup final, but their next five final appearances (three FA Cup, two League Cup) had each ended in defeat - the last of which came in 2023, when they lost 2-0 to Man Utd in this very fixture.
A towering header from boyhood Newcastle fan Dan Burn just before the break and a sublime finish from talisman Alexander Isak just after the restart put Toon on course for a victory generations had longed for.
And though Federico Chiesa's 96th-minute goal - confirmed after a lengthy VAR review - set up a tense finale, it was not enough to help Liverpool find the equaliser that would have sent the game to extra-time.
