Newcastle United partied long into Sunday night after winning the Carabao Cup final against Liverpool.
The long, heartbreaking 70-year wait for a trophy came to a triumphant end at Wembley when Newcastle United defeated Liverpool 2-1 in the Carabao Cup final.
Eddie Howe’s side were sensational as they pressed the imperious Premier League leaders to within an inch of their lives, with Tino Livramento not even allowing Mohamed Salah a shot on goal.
Strikes either side of the break from Dan Burn and Alexander Isak secured the cup for Newcastle, though Federico Cheisa’s late strikes ensured it was a nail-biting finish.
Yet, it was Newcastle’s day at Wembley and the emotional celebrations on the pitch – with Bruno Guimaraes in floods of tears – soon turned to a party once things moved to the changing rooms.

Sean Longstaff drinks from the Carabao Cup
Local lad Sean Longstaff would have had a small reason to feel a bit gutted, given he was stripped to come on off the bench late on but Howe changed his mind and sent on Emil Krafth instead.
However, there was not even a hint of the midfielder being upset as he celebrated the victory like any childhood fan would.
Sky’s cameras showed what was going on in the changing room and Longstaff downed beer straight from the trophy!

He said upon sitting down: “That strange smell in the room is me. Joelinton drenched me in alcohol!”
