Newcastle End Trophy Drought with League Cup Final Triumph Over Liverpool

Newcastle United ended their 70-year wait for a domestic trophy by defeating Liverpool 2-1 in the League Cup final, with goals from Dan Burn and Alexander Isak igniting celebrations among the Geordie faithful at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.

Local hero Burn put Newcastle ahead just before halftime, powering a header into the net from a corner in the 45th minute.

Backed by a sea of black-and-white-clad supporters, Newcastle tightened their grip on the match seven minutes into the second half when Swedish forward Isak fired a shot past Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher.

Premier League leaders Liverpool managed a late response as Federico Chiesa reduced the deficit in stoppage time, but it was too little, too late. The night belonged to Eddie Howe’s Newcastle, who secured the club’s first domestic trophy since 1955.
