EFL Cup Final, The PostmortemThe atmosphere in Wembley was loud and expectant as two sets of adoring fans awaited their respective teams to enter the fray and fight

Newcastle United have ended their 56-year wait for a trophy, beating Liverpool 2-1 at Wembley in the Carabao Cup final. Dan Burn and Alexander Isak got the goals in a brilliant performance from Eddie Howe's men, who held on for victory despite Federico Chiesa 's late strike.

A victory would see Liverpool lift their third Carabao Cup trophy in four seasons, extending their gap as the winningest side in tournament history. However, Newcastle in front will be motivated to end a 70-year domestic trophy-less drought, and win their first major title under the Magpies new ownership group.
