With an incredible performance that left the dominant Premier League leaders stunned, Eddie Howe’s team created history at Wembley.
Newcastle took the lead late in the first half thanks to Burn, and after the break, Isak increased their lead with his 27th goal overall.
Even though Federico Chiesa scored in the final seconds, Newcastle managed to hold on and win their first significant trophy since the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup in 1969.
That victory in the Europa League’s precursor is a thing of the past, but the Newcastle supporters who transformed one half of Wembley into a raging sea of black and white with their wild celebrations will always remember this long-awaited victory.
In addition, it was Newcastle’s first significant domestic award since the FA Cup in 1955, which was 70 years ago.
Thirty different English teams had won trophies since the Magpies won the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, while Liverpool had won 38 major trophies during that time, reports Gulf today.
However, Howe’s team returned to Wembley and finally corrected the record after losing to Manchester United in the 2023 League Cup final.
