I’m struggling to remember the last time I saw Liverpool as outrun and outmuscled as they were at Wembley on Sunday, not least in midfield.
The bullies became the bullied and Joelinton was the brilliant brute leading the way, like the kid from Year 11 toying with the Year 10s in a game at school.
Dan Burn won the man of the match award, and there can be no arguing with giving that honour to the boy from Blyth after that beautiful header.
But equally, Newcastle might not have ever triumphed were it not for their 28-year-old Brazilian giant in midfield.
