Newcastle made history by beating Liverpool 2-1 to end their 70-year wait for domestic silverware by lifting the EFL Cup at Wembley

Newcastle United ended a 70-year domestic trophy drought as they beat holders Liverpool 2-1 to win the League Cup with goals in each half by Dan Burn and Alexander Isak sparking a Geordie party at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.

Dan Burn and Alexander Isak ended 70 years of hurt as they fired Newcastle to Carabao Cup final victory over Liverpool. Local boy Burn headed the Magpies into the lead on the stroke of half-time, and Isak’s 23rd goal of the season seven minutes after the restart secured a first domestic trophy since the 1955 FA Cup despite substitute Federico Chiesa’s late strike.

Newcastle have conceded only two goals in their six EFL Cup ties against Nottingham Forest, AFC Wimbledon, Chelsea, Brentford and Arsenal, who were beaten 4-0 on aggregate in the two-legged semi-final.
