Newcastle best Liverpool in Carabao Cup to end 56-year trophy drought

Newcastle United ended a 70-year domestic trophy drought as they beat Liverpool 2-1 to win the Carabao Cup with goals in each half by Dan Burn and Alexander Isak sparking a Geordie party at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.

Local hero Burn gave Newcastle a deserved lead in the 45th minute when the defender thumped in a header from a corner.

Roared on by a sea of fans clad in black and white, Newcastle took complete control of the match seven minutes after the break when Swedish forward Isak swept a shot past Liverpool keeper Caoimhin Kelleher.
