Alan Shearer is 16 again and all’s good in Goodison park
Carabao Cup Final 2024/25 Liverpool vs Newcastle; Newcastle have done it. 70 years avenged in 90 minutes. The black and white have risen from the ashes like a phoenix. Alan Shearer is 16 again and all’s good in Goodison park.
Newcastle won the tie 2-1 against Liverpool and looked the more dangerous side throughout the game. The first goal came through Dan Burn the local boy with a thumping header into the side netting just before the half time and the second was slotted in by Alexander Isak with a calm first time finish from a glancing header by Jacob Murphy.
Joelinton gave a momentous performance
Howe’s side were superior to Liverpool in all areas, with Joelinton giving a momentous performance in midfield – rallying supporters after winning tackles and never giving Arne Slot’s team a moment’s peace.
The pairing of Joelinton and Bruno Guimaraes in the middle of the park has been so important for this team’s success as they both compliment each other and have the tenacity to go up and down the pitch even at the 90 minutes mark.
Chiesa scored in stoppage time
Although Federico Chiesa scored in stoppage time but Liverpool were just not up to what Newcastle was displaying.
Arne Slot and Liverpool have had a hard week as they have been eliminated from the champions league and lost the final of the Carabao Cup in the span of 4 days.
Mohamed Salah has also seriously dented his Ballon D’or possibilities as they have now only Premier League to win and the team accolades play an important role in the decision making of the winner.
The Magpies have turned the clock around and have won the first piece of silverware in 70 years. Last year’s Champions league qualification and now a trophy indicates a good time ahead for Newcastle United fans.
Dan Burn is also having an amazing week
Dan Burn is also having an amazing week as he was called in for the first time for England National team and has now scored in a Cup final for his boyhood club.
Alexander Isak has now scored 23 goals this season with only 3 penalty goals. Many European big clubs have shared their interest over him as it is still unclear where he would go. A certified baller, he is destined for greatness.
