Sharjah 24 – AFP: Newcastle United secured their first major title in over 50 years, defeating Liverpool 2-1 in the League Cup final on Sunday at Wembley Stadium.

A long-awaited victory

This victory marked Newcastle's first major trophy since 1969, ending a 54-year wait. They triumphed over Liverpool, last season’s champions and record holders of the competition, who had previously won the League Cup 10 times.

Goals from Burn and Isak seal the win

Dan Burn opened the scoring in the 45th minute, with Alexander Isak doubling Newcastle's lead in the 52nd minute. Despite a late goal from Federico Chiesa in the 90+4 minute, Liverpool's comeback attempt fell short, and Newcastle claimed the victory.
