Beware, London, the organizations don’t go soon. The Toon Army celebrates the international break after Newcastle ended her 56-year waiting time for a large trophy on Sunday afternoon.
The goals of the local hero Dan Burn and the Talisman striker Alexander, Alexander Isak, push the upper magpie into a deserved 2-0 lead. Eddie Howe’s team was good on the course for a comfortable triumph, although a number of good chances were missing to bring the final to bed.
Runawlige Premier League leader Liverpool took part in the competition as favorites, but they did not put Newcastle on a glove until Curtis Jones had a good effort shortly before the hour. Her later consolation, which arrived in added time via Federico Chiesa, could have triggered a remarkable Elster collapse, but Howe’s team looked professionally in order to etch their names in history.
Boy, Arne Slot tinkered in the second half. The Liverpool Manager used all five substitutions in the 74th minute, whereby the shape of the red developed drastically when the competition led to its conclusion.
Outside of Curtis Jones’ introduction and his use deeper in midfield, the Liverpool offered greater press resistance in view of the intensity of Newcastle, it seemed less thoughts and more hope in relation to the changes in slot.
The Dutch coach has a lot of praise for his willingness to adapt to the game, and mostly his subtle changes have proven to be ingenious. Slot’s work on Sunday was not his best and he was fatal to make an important adaptation of set pieces.
Dan burn is 6’7. Alexis Mac Allister is 5’9. Sure, the task of the Argentinian is not necessarily to duel the Newcastle defender, but a change in which either Virgil van Dijk or Ibrahima Konate would have been contacted as a man-marker, would have been more useful in the first half due to the primary set-piece threat of Joy Newcastle. Burn made the first contact with almost every delivery when the clever magpies avoided the central defenders of Liverpool with carefully by aiming on the back post.
They used a mismatch, with Burn picking up for an unforgettable week by scoring the opener with a emphatic header on the keeping line. The interval offered Slot the optimal time to adapt, but there was no major change in set pieces. Shortly before Isak Newcastle’s leadership doubled, the Swede excluded a goal after Joelinton Liverpool’s blockers escaped the back of the post.
Eddie Howes Newcastle had the chance to end her long drought two years ago when they were confronted in the final of the same competition against Manchester United. However, at the end of the first half, give two goals a big day in another heartache on the big stage.
Howe spoke about the optimal emotional balance before the final on Sunday. The occasion seemed to get to the magpies against a strikable red devil in 2023, but they met the perfect chord here.
They used a Liverpool team, which apparently was still thrown back on Tuesday evening from the defeat of the penalty giant by PSG from PSG. The red could not come to the fore while the Wowe side acted with relentless strength. There were emotions, especially of the two Brazilians in the middle of the park, but Newcastle channeled the fervor equipped by the Toon Army and refused to refuse. They met the sweet spot.
Newcastle’s victory means that Howe and this group are immortalized by players on Tyneside. Howe is the first English manager to win the League Cup with Middlesbrough since Steve McLaren 21 years ago, and the first Newcastle boss, who has been delivering a large cutlery for generations.
His stoic aura works in contradiction to the city, which supports its football club so vehemently, but together Howe and Newcastle have the perfect game.
He is the best England that came on the edge.
The clock ticked after the late goal from Liverpool in minute 99. Tension suffocated Wembley. Newcastle couldn’t lose from here, right? Not after all of that.
Liverpools Next Surge -upfield was brought to a standstill by a poor Dominik Szoboszlai headball, which was broken down cool by Bruno Guimaraes and confiscated by Sandro Tonali. The temperament of the Brazilian and the persecuted running of the Italian, which made it possible to kill Newcastle to kill more clock at a crucial time, embodied a really outstanding representation of her midfield triumphant.
These were certainly the two best motor rooms of the Premier League, which had opposed, but the duel on Sunday was a comprehensive victory for the three in black and white. Guimaraes delivered Savvy, Tonali was relentless and Joelinton recorded a hat trick with celebrations for his defensive work.
This was not about their ability to combine beyond their opponents in the middle of the park, but in their ability to completely disturb the flow of Liverpool.
Liverpool’s brightest moment of a flat first half came when Salah had the chance to lead Tino Livramento one to one. Salah’s cross was knocked down by Luis Diaz, and her only shot of the opening time was worn out by Diogo Jota.
This sequence has certainly brought a exclamation mark for Liverpool’s plan to return: Give Salah the ball! However, this time there was no red revival of the inevitable Egyptian.
His touch count was barely outside the individual digits when Newcastle had their second, and there was only one occasion when the wing player set up Livramento and won a corner, but nothing more. Howe made sure that Salah would not beat his team, which challenged the support of the wing player to improve.
You didn’t do it.
In truth, Liverpool was poor from back to the front, and her problems on Sunday were not only due to below -average displays in attack. As in the week a week, the red suffered powerful when her Star man was limited.
