Alan Shearer has revealed the real reason behind his emotions during Newcastle's triumphal 2-1 Carabao cup win against Liverpool on Sunday.

The Magpies celebrated the triumph of a first major domestic trophy in 70 years with tens of thousands of supporters at the Wembley Stadium.

One of them was Shearer, who lost two FA Cup finals at the famous ground during his 206-goal playing career with Newcastle.

But his former side finally ended their trophy drought with a 2-1 win over the Premier League leaders thanks to an impressive display and goals from Dan Burn and Alexander Isak.
