Newcastle won their first major domestic trophy in 70 years on Sunday as they beat Liverpool to lift the Carabao Cup.   The Magpies ended their long drought at Wembley thanks to goals from Dan Burn and Alexander Isak despite a late consolation.   It’s a moment that Eddie Howe will never forget as he and his squad have written their names into the club’s folklore forever.   Arne Slot has missed out on his first piece of silverware as Reds boss, but he will have the Premier League title to aim for now. You can recap all of the action in our live blog below. .. Eddie Howe has made some history too. He's ended a 21-year wait for an English manager to win the League Cup, emulating Steve Mc Claren. Howe is also the first English manager to win a major trophy with a Premier League side since Harry Redknapp in 2008. It's a dream come true for all at Newcastle. There we go, Newcastle are Carabao Cup champions! Bruno Guimaraes and Kieran Trippier lift the trophy! A moment that will never, ever ben forgotten at the club. These players have written their names in Magpies folklore and this party is going to continue all night. London will become Newcastle for tonight, that's for sure. Newcaste are heading up to lift the trophy. What a moment this is going to be at Wembley. After 70 long years, they are finally going to be able to lift some silverware after beating Liverpool. Bruno Guimaraes will do the honours. .. On the other side of the pitch, Liverpool slump. They were favourites heading into this final but they've come up short and just didn't turn up today. Arne Slot has been denied his first piece of silverware. And could that be the last final in a Reds shirt for Mo Salah? He was in tears as his side were knocked out of the Champions League in midweek and now it's more heartbreak. This will hurt, but Slot's side have the Premier League title to secure over the next few weeks now. Bruno Guimaraes has labelled this achievement as the best day of his life while dedicating the trophy win to the fans. The Brazilian was in tears as he spoke to Sky Sports. "It's all for these fans, " he said. "They deserve everything. When I first came here I said I wanted to put my name in history. "We can now say we are the champions again. This is one of the best days of my life. "I don't have any words. It's the best day of my life. For them [the fans] it's like the World Cup. "People have grown up and not seen us as champions. My first year as captain of this club and it's one of the best days. This is unbelievable. "This is my second home. We are making history. Some day when I leave this club I want the fans to sing my name the way they do to Shearer. "He text me before the game. I'm so emotional today. " There are some unbelievable scenes on the pitch. Bruno Guimaraes is crying while Eddie Howe punches his fists at the crowd as the fans roar in response. This has been a long, long time coming for the Magpies. Their last major domestic trophy came 70 years ago. They've finally won another. NEWCASTLE HAVE WON THE CARABAO CUP! AFTER 90 MINUTES AND OVER 10 MINUTES OF TENSE ADDED TIME, THE MAGPIES HAVE FINALLY WON A TROPHY! 70 YEARS ON FROM THEIR LAST, THEY'VE DONE IT! Incredible, incredible scenes. 90+7' The atmosphere is incredible. Newcastle's fans have hands on heads and the tension can be seen on every single face in the stands. Liverpool have seconds left to try and find an equaliser. Surely it's too late for them? ! 90+4' WOW, THIS IS GOING TO BE TENSE! LIVERPOOL HAVE A LATE, LATE GOAL BACK! The nerves are going to be incredible here. Can Newcastle hold on? Federico Chiesa has just scored to make it 2-1 and give his side some hope! VAR took a long look after the goal was ruled out originally, but Chiesa is found to have been on! 90' We're heading into added time. Newcastle are EIGHT minutes away from history. Liverpool have been hopeless, they're well off it. The Magpies have dominated from start to finish. They just have to hang on in these final stages. Jacob Murphy has come off for Emil Krafth. 86' Newcastle have had the last four shots in this final. That just shows how much Liverpool are struggling. Since Curtis Jones' strike in the 79th minute, they've not had another despite being 2-0 down. It's been a masterclass by Eddie Howe's men. They're going to finally win a trophy. 83' A late chance to seal it for Newcastle! Joelinton unleashes a low strike from the edge of the box which misses the target at the near post. Sandro Tonali then sees a shot saved by Caiomhin Kelleher. Liverpool look beaten out there, it's too little too late for them. 80' We're into the final 10 minutes. .. Liverpool are probing and looking for a way through, but it's so hard to break down this deep Newcastle defence. The Magpies have everyone behind the ball. Curtis Jones has just seen his shot fly over the bar before Alexander Isak is replaced by Callum Wilson. Harvey Barnes comes off for Joe Willock too. 77' Time is running out for Liverpool. They're going all out for a goal, but they need it soon. Newcastle are sat back and defending their lead as history beckons for them at Wembley. Can they hold on? 74' Even more attackers come on for Liverpool. Federico Chiesa and Harvey Elliott are introduced. Ryan Gravenberch and Luis Diaz come off. The Reds' system looks to be all over the place now, with only three defenders on the pitch at the moment. We have just over 15 minutes left at Wembley and Newcastle are two goals to the good. 71' Liverpool are desperate. Mohamed Salah has barely been involved in this game and the Reds have only had one shot on target. They need more than just shots on target too, with two goals needed to come back with less than 20 minutes to go. For Newcastle, they're closing in on club history and their first major domestic trophy in 70 years. Darren Bent live on talk SPORT: "I don't think I've seen a quieter period for Salah. " 68' Another change for Liverpool. Alexis Mac Allister is replaced by Cody Gakpo. That's FOUR attackers on the pitch for the Reds now, with Gakpo, Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah on. It's all or nothing now. And that's allowing Newcastle to eye a counter-attack, the first of which has just ended up with the ball rolling out. Darren Bent live on talk SPORT: "Liverpool are going to be susceptable to that break. Newcastle need to look for that now. " 65' WHAT A SAVE, CAOIMHIN KELLEHER! Alexander Isak comes so close to sealing it for Newcastle, as he turns the ball goalwards from close range. Harvey Barnes nods across to Isak in the box and somehow, Kelleher denies him and the score remains 2-0. That save keeps Liverpool in this game. 62' Joelinton denies Andy Robertson! Robertsen finds space in the box and looks to cross the ball into the danger area, but the Brazilian slides in. He roars yet again, completing a hat-trick of great tackles. He'll need to be focused though, as Liverpool are piling some pressure on now, with wave after wave of attack. We're in for an exciting finish. 59' Liverpool are pushing back now! Nick Pope has superbly denied Curtis Jones who fired first-time as he charged into the penalty area. Jones then waves his arms at the Reds fans, lifting them to try and start a comeback here. Sandro Tonali is now down receiving some treatment. 56' Arne Slot responds with some changes. Curtis Jones and Darwin Nunez come on for Ibrahima Konate and Diogo Jota as we near the hour mark. It looks like Ryan Gravenberch will be playing at centre-back for the rest of this game now Konate is off. That's a real change for Liverpool. .. Darren Bent live on talk SPORT "I think he's just wanting some more attackers on the pitch. "As so far, this has been too safe for Liverpool. " 53' THIS ONE IS GOING TO COUNT! ALEXANDER ISAK DOUBLES NEWCASTLE'S LEAD! NEWCASTLE ARE IN DREAMLAND AT WEMBLEY! Jacob Murphy wins a header in the box and the ball drops to Isak who smashes into the bottom corner! WOW, WOW, WOW! 52' NEWCASTLE ARE DENIED A SECOND GOAL! It comes again from a corner, with Joelinton running to the back post to head back across goal. .. His header finds Alexander Isak and he taps home. VAR takes a look and disallows the goal for Bruno Guimaraes' being in an offside position and disrupting the goalkeeper. Sam Matterface live on talk SPORT: "I don't think it's because Isak is offside. "I think it's because Guimaraes is in front of the goalkeeper. " 49' That's already better from Liverpool. A brilliant sweeping move is started by Virgil van Dijk as he strides out of the defence and sends Diogo Jota through. Jota cuts on back to Luis Diaz, before Joelinton slides in to intercept and deny the Colombian a shot at goal. But that is what the Reds lacked in the first half, so Arne Slot will be pleased to have seen that attacking play. 46' We're back underway in this final. Liverpool need to massively improve if they want to come back here; they've not threatened at all. Their elimination from the Champions League in midweek could be carrying into this game. They played 120 minutes and went through penalties before losing, so it may have taking a toll. It certainly looks like it so far. .. © 2025 talk SPORT Limited
