Newcastle Wins Carabao Cup, Ends 70-Year Trophy Drought

Newcastle United triumphed over Liverpool 2-1 in the League Cup final at Wembley Stadium, marking their first major trophy win since 1955 and ending a 70-year trophy drought. Dan Burn opened the scoring just before halftime with a powerful header from a corner, followed by a goal from Alexander Isak shortly after the break that solidified Newcastle's lead. Although Federico Chiesa scored a late goal for Liverpool, it was insufficient to change the outcome of the match. Newcastle's victory is significant not only for its historical context but also as a testament to their dominance in the game despite having less possession. The win sparked celebrations among fans and marked a notable moment for head coach Eddie Howe and the club. This victory comes after Newcastle's near misses in past finals, making it a landmark achievement for the team and its supporters.
