In a thrilling encounter, Newcastle secured a memorable victory over Liverpool, ending their long wait for a domestic trophy. The Magpies dominated the first half and were rewarded just before the break when local hero Burn headed home. The Toon Army, clad in their iconic black and white, roared their team on, and their lead was doubled shortly after halftime by Swedish forward Isak.
Despite a late Liverpool fightback, with substitute Chiesa slotting home, it was too little too late. Newcastle held on for a famous win, with the day belonging to Eddie Howe’s men. This triumph marked their first domestic trophy since 1955, providing sweet relief after their League Cup final heartbreak two years prior. It was a special moment for the club, their fans, and captain Bruno Guimaraes, who arrived after the Saudi-backed takeover in 2021.
In contrast, Liverpool looked flat, perhaps still reeling from their Champions League exit at the hands of Paris St Germain. The usually lethal Mohamed Salah was notably quiet, and manager Arne Slot will want to quickly forget this disappointing performance. Newcastle, on the other hand, were full of threat, with Sandro Tonali and Jacob Murphy causing problems. The Magpies’ defense, marshaled by the towering Burn, kept Liverpool’s attack at bay for most of the game.
This victory will go down in Newcastle’s history, ending decades of despair and finally giving their loyal fans something to celebrate. It was a day when everything clicked for Howe’s side, and their determined performance ensured their names will forever be written in the club’s folklore.
