Newcastle United have beaten Liverpool to win the Carabao Cup final, ending a 56-year wait for a trophy.
Dan Burn and Alexander Isak got the goals in a brilliant performance from Eddie Howe’s men, who held on for victory despite Federico Chiesa‘s late strike.
Burn’s header, on the stroke of half-time, was superb and a goal was richly deserved after a first half dominated by Newcastle. That lead was soon doubled after the break, Isak sweeping past Caoimhin Kelleher from Jacob Murphy‘s knock-down.
Substitute Chiesa finished well in stoppage time to set up a nervy ending, but Newcastle held on for a famous win.
