Newcastle United has won their first domestic silverware in 70 years after beating Liverpool 2-1 in the EFL Cup final at the Wembley Stadium. Newcastle United arrived at Wembley for the Carabao Cup final determined to end football's longest-ever trophy droughts, with no success in any competition since the 1969 Inter-Cities Fair Cup triumph.

From the start of the game, Eddie Howe's managed side was superior to Liverpool. The deadlock was broken just before half-time by Dan Burn. Liverpool was beyond poor in the first half. Alexander Isak doubled Newcastle's lead after a minute before his goal ruled out.
