Newcastle United made history yesterday after beating Liverpool at Wembley to win their first trophy since 1969.

The Magpies went ahead in the first half through Dan Burn. It was a memorable week for the 33-year-old, as he had just received his first call-up to the England squad.

Alexander Isak doubled Newcastle’s advantage in the second half, putting the Toon Army in the driving seat.

Federico Chiesa halved the deficit to set up a nervy finish, but Newcastle stood their ground.

The win marked a historic moment for Newcastle, as it was their first domestic trophy in 70 years. They had been to Wembley on nine occasions since their last FA Cup triumph seven decades ago but had always ended up on the losing side.

It was an emotional moment for club captain Bruno Guimarães, who was in tears at full-time, thanking the fans. He described it as the best day of his life: “It’s all for these fans. They deserve everything. When I first came here, I said I wanted to put my name in history,” he told Sky Sports.

The trophy was lifted by Bruno Guimarães and Kieran Trippier. Trippier was hailed as a hero by Newcastle fans, as he was the first signing under the Saudi Public Investment Fund.

Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe became the first English manager to win a major domestic trophy in England since Harry Redknapp in 2008.
