Newcastle United made history on Sunday, March 16, 2025 ending their 70-year wait for a trophy with a thrilling 2-1 victory over Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley Stadium. Dan Burn opened the scoring with a towering header in the first half, before Alexander Isak sealed the win with a clinical finish on his 100th Newcastle appearance.
The Magpies’ triumph is their first in a major cup competition since they won the FA Cup in 1955. Despite Liverpool’s late push, Newcastle held firm to secure a memorable victory. Federico Chiesa gave the Reds some hope with a low drive in second-half stoppage time, but it proved to be nothing more than a consolation.
Newcastle’s win was a testament to their resilience and determination. Eddie Howe’s side had failed to win any of their previous 17 meetings with Liverpool, but they rose to the occasion on Sunday. The Magpies’ starting XI included five players aged 30+ and their experience paid off as they outsmarted and outmaneuvered their younger opponents.The victory marked a historic moment for Newcastle United and the team will be remembered for generations to come. Isak’s winning goal was a fitting way to mark his 100th appearance for the club, and the Norwegian striker will cherish the memory of scoring the decisive goal in a major cup final.
