Former Premier League Manager Reacts to Newcastle United’s Carabao Cup Victory Over LiverpoolNewcastle United’s 70-year wait for a major trophy finally came to an end on Sunday, deservedly coming

It was Geordie dreamland for The Magpies with goals from Dan Burn and Alexander Isak seeing them claim a 2-1 win over Liverpool at Wembley Stadium to end a 70-year wait for a domestic honour. The often cool and calm Howe let his sheer joy shine through as he made his way onto the pitch to celebrate the trophy victory.

Of course, it is impossible to completely escape a city’s feelings and expectations, especially when the club’s all-time leading scorer, Alan Shearer, texts the club captain, Bruno Guimaraes, on the eve of the game. His message was not one spewing emotion, but a clinical instruction: “Bring that trophy back.”

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot dismissed the idea Newcastle United's players were "hungrier" in Sunday's Carabao Cup final, but admitted Eddie Howe's side were deserved winners.
