Newcastle fans celebrate first domestic trophy in 70 years

Are you a Newcastle fan and heading to school buzzing with excitement today?

Newcastle United fans will have been celebrating long into the night after the team beat Liverpool to win the Carabao Cup at Wembley on Sunday.

Eddie Howe's side picked up the club's first trophy since 1969 as they won 2-1, overcoming arguably the best team in England at the moment.

The last time the Magpies won an English competition was the FA Cup in 1955 - that was 70 years ago!

Tens of thousands of Newcastle fans, known as the Toon Army, travelled to London from the North East to see their team.

But those who hadn't made the journey gathered outside their home ground, St James' Park, to celebrate together after the match.

Goals either side of half-time by Dan Burn and Alexander Isak sent the fans wild, and even though Liverpool pulled a goal back in the 94th minute, it wasn't enough to stop Newcastle getting the party started.

The win will also mean Newcastle will play European football next season, as they have earned a spot in the playoffs round of UEFA Europa Conference League.

Magpies fan and goal scorer Dan Burn will have to put any wild celebrations on hold as he will be reporting for England duty on Monday morning for the first time in his career.

Burn told Sky Sports: "I've had worse weeks. I don't want to go to sleep because I feel like I'm dreaming and it's all going to be a lie.

"I don't get many so I saved it for a big occasion. I feel strange, I feel numb at the minute."

He added: "I'll be first there tomorrow [at England training] at 8 o'clock."

Newcastle captain Bruno Guimaraes described it as the "best day of my life"

Newcastle captain Bruno Guimaraes said the win marked the best day of his life.

He said: "For them [the fans] it's like the World Cup. People have grown up and not seen us as champions."

"My first year as captain of this club and it's one of the best days. This is unbelievable," the Brazilian added.

What happened in the Subway Women's League Cup final?

Chelsea claimed their first trophy out of a possible four this season by beating Manchester City to the Women's League Cup on Saturday.

An opener from Mayra Ramirez gave Chelsea the lead before Aoba Fujino equalised with a stunning strike.

However, an own goal from Man City's Yui Hasegawa meant Chelsea ended thier three-year streak of losing League Cup finals.

It is the club's first silverware under the new leadership of Sonia Bompastor, who took over from Emma Hayes last May.

"From the beginning of the season we said we are going to be ambitious and when you have the opportunity to win a first title that is always really positive so I am really happy for that reason and I am really proud of my players," said the Blues head coach.

The Blues will hope to continue thier winning ways, and aim to also lift the Women's Super League, FA Cup and Champions League trophies this season.
