On this day, Newcastle played the men, not the moment. That those in red were found wanting, utterly spent from Tuesday night, will barely qualify as a footnote to history on Tyneside, the first major trophy most in Wembley's scarf-aloft West Stand will have seen Newcastle win.

Newcastle United have won the English Football League (EFL) following a well-deserved 2-1 win over Liverpool at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.

Newcastle stunned Liverpool 2-1 in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley to end one of English football’s most famous trophy droughts. Boyhood Toon fan Dan Burn and Alexander Isak scored either side of half-time to at long last halt the club’s 70-year wait for major domestic silverware that had stretched back to 1955.
