Newcastle United, who defeated Liverpool 2-1 in the final of the England League Cup at Wembley, brought the trophy to their museum for the first time in their history. Newcastle also ended a 70-year trophy drought.
VICTORY FOR NEWCASTLE
Starting the match effectively, Newcastle United found the goal they were looking for in the 45th minute with a header from Dan Burn. Entering the halftime break with a 1-0 lead, Newcastle also started the second half quickly. In the 52nd minute, Alexander Isak, who came to the stage, doubled the lead, shocking the Wembley stands. The black and whites, who did not slow down after the goal, also had opportunities to widen the gap. Although Liverpool found the goal in the 90+4th minute with Federico Chiesa, the remaining time was not enough to prevent the defeat, and Newcastle United became the owner of the England League Cup by defeating their strong opponent 2-1.
THEY WON A TROPHY AFTER 70 YEARS
On the other hand, under the management of Eddie Howe, Newcastle United, which has been making history this season, also ended their long trophy drought. Having won their last trophy in 1955, Newcastle succeeded in winning a major tournament again after 70 years. The black and whites had won the England League Cup that season by defeating Manchester City 3-1 in front of more than 100,000 spectators at Wembley Stadium.
TRANSFERRED THE BAD TITLE
Thus, Newcastle transferred the title of the team that had gone the longest without winning a trophy in England to Southampton, which had not ended its drought for 50 years. Southampton was followed by Ipswich Town with 47 years and West Ham and Wolves with 45 years each. Nottingham Forest, which has not won a trophy for 35 years, is in 5th place, while Everton has been trophyless for 30 years, Aston Villa for 29 years, and Tottenham for 17 years.
