• ‘The players delivered under pressure,’ says manager
• Liverpool’s Arne Slot: ‘Exactly the way they wanted it’

Eddie Howe lauded Newcastle’s Carabao Cup final win against Liverpool as a day the club “will never forget” after securing their first major domestic trophy in 70 years.

Dan Burn and Alexander Isak set Newcastle on their way to victory, with Federico Chiesa scoring a late consolation for Liverpool. There was pure elation in the black-and-white half of Wembley, packed with more than 32,000 Newcastle fans, at full time as they celebrated the end of a seven-decade long wait since winning the 1955 FA Cup. Victory earned a Uefa Conference League spot for next season.
