Eddie Howe held back tears as he spoke of the emotion he felt after ending Newcastle's 70-year wait for a domestic trophy in the Carabao Cup final.

The Magpies were magnificent during a 2-1 win over Liverpool in which Geordie defender Dan Burn and star striker Alexander Isak were on target.

It is the first time since the FA Cup final of 1955 that Newcastle have lifted a trophy at Wembley and, on full-time, it was Howe's name the Toon Army sent reverberating around the ground.

He once walked the old Wembley steps with his mum, Anne, during a stadium tour when he was a boy.
