Newcastle United broke their 70-year wait for a domestic trophy by defeating Liverpool 2-1 in the League Cup final, thanks to first-half goals from Dan Burn and Alexander Isak. The victory sparked celebrations among the Geordie fans at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.
Local hero Burn secured Newcastle's well-deserved lead just before halftime with a powerful header from a corner kick in the 45th minute.
Amidst a wave of supporters dressed in black and white, Newcastle seized full control of the game seven minutes into the second half when Swedish striker Isak curled a shot beyond Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher.
Liverpool, currently atop the Premier League standings, eventually managed to respond as Federico Chiesa scored late in stoppage time to reduce their deficit.
