Generations of Newcastle United fans have longed to see their club lift silverware, and that dream finally came true on Sunday as the Magpies defeated Liverpool 2-1 in the Carabao Cup final.
This victory marks Newcastle’s first major domestic trophy in 70 years, with their last triumph dating back to the 1954–55 FA Cup, when they beat Manchester City 3-1 at Wembley.
Isak and Burn Fire Newcastle to Glory
Dan Burn opened the scoring in the first half.
Alexander Isak doubled the lead in the second half, sealing the historic win.
Isak’s Scoring Streak:
The Swedish striker has been in red-hot form, scoring 27 goals in 37 appearances for club and country this season. This tally matches his career-best from last season, where he hit 27 goals in 46 games.
Eddie Howe’s Influence: ‘Us Against the World’
Newcastle’s remarkable rise has been largely credited to manager Eddie Howe, whose relentless work ethic and innovative coaching methods have transformed the squad.
Dan Burn on Howe’s Training Style:
"What I find crazy about the gaffer's training is that we never seem to do the same session twice. Every single day is something completely new."
Joelinton on Howe’s Impact:
"He improved me as a player, not just me but others. He changed my position, but overall, his mentality, passion, and desire to work hard every day stand out."
