Newcastle Ends 70-Year Trophy Drought, Wins Carabao Cup

Newcastle United ended a 56-year wait for a major trophy by winning the Carabao Cup, defeating Liverpool 2-1 at Wembley. The victory marked a significant milestone for the club, which had faced decades of disappointment, with their last major triumph being the FA Cup in 1955. With goals from Dan Burn and Alexander Isak, Newcastle established control, though a late goal from Federico Chiesa for Liverpool added tension. Manager Eddie Howe's leadership has been pivotal in transforming the club since its acquisition by Saudi Arabian owners. The jubilant scenes at Wembley saw fans celebrating together, marking a historic moment for a club long associated with near misses. This triumph is expected to reshape Newcastle's identity and restore pride among its supporters.
