Newcastle United beat Liverpool 2-1 to claim the Carabao Cup at Wembley Stadium. Additionally, the Magpies’ dominant display earned them their first major silverware in 56 years, while Slot missed the chance to win his first trophy with the Reds.
Eddie Howe’s players have made history at Wembley with a fantastic display that left Liverpool shocked. Burn’s goal put Newcastle ahead late in the first half, and Isak’s 27th goal in all competitions doubled their lead after the interval.
Federico Chiesa got one back in the closing seconds, but Newcastle held on for their first major silverware since the 1969 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup.

That success in the predecessor to the Europa League is a relic of a bygone era, but this long-awaited triumph will be forever etched in the memories of the Newcastle fans who turned one half of Wembley into a roiling sea of black and white with their ecstatic celebrations. It was also Newcastle’s first major domestic prize dating back 70 years to the 1955 FA Cup.
Since the Magpies lifted the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, 30 different English teams had won silverware, while Liverpool had clinched 38 major trophies in that time. But after losing the 2023 League Cup final against Manchester United, Howe’s team returned to Wembley and set the record straight at last.
All that changed in 2021 when a Saudi-backed consortium completed a takeover from unpopular owner Mike Ashley and quickly hired Howe as their manager.
Thanks to Howe’s astute leadership and the Saudi financial backing, Newcastle have been transformed from relegation candidates to silverware winners.
In conclusion, the defeat was another painful blow for Liverpool just days after their Champions League last 16 exit on penalties against Paris Saint-Germain.
