Newcastle United player ratings from the 2-1 win over Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final.

Eddie Howe kept faith with the same team that beat West Ham United on Monday night, meaning Nick Pope got the nod ahead of Martin Dubravka in goal.

Kieran Trippier, Dan Burn, Fabian Schar and Tino Livramento formed the back four with captain Bruno Guimaraes in midfield alongside Sandro Tonali and Joelinton. In attack, Harvey Barnes lined up on the left and Jacob Murphy on the right with Alexander Isak leading the line.
