The match got off to a cagey start, but Newcastle took control in the second half. Dan Burn gave his team the lead with a header in the 45th minute, while Alexander Isak sealed the win with a goal seven minutes later. Federico Chiesa’s late equalizer for Liverpool was not enough to change the course of the match.
The triumph was a long time coming for Newcastle fans, who have waited over six decades without a trophy. The victory sparked jubilation among the Geordie faithful, who packed Wembley Stadium in their black and white jerseys.
