Newcastle Stun Liverpool to Claim Carabao Cup, Ending 56-Year Trophy Drought

Newcastle United have clinched the Carabao Cup, defeating Liverpool in a historic final to secure their first major trophy in 56 years.

Eddie Howe’s side delivered a commanding performance, with Dan Burn opening the scoring just before half-time with a powerful header after Newcastle’s dominant first half.

The lead was doubled shortly after the break when Alexander Isak capitalized on Jacob Murphy’s knock-down, slotting past Liverpool’s goalkeeper, Caoimhin Kelleher.

Liverpool fought back, with substitute Federico Chiesa netting in stoppage time to set up a tense finale, but Newcastle held firm to seal a famous victory and lift the long-awaited silverware.
