Carabao Cup: All the key stats from Newcastle United’s historic victory over Liverpool

Newcastle United have won their first major trophy since winning the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup in 1968-69, while it’s the club’s first major domestic success since winning the FA Cup in 1954-55.

Liverpool are the eighth side to lose the League Cup final as the holders, and are the first since Tottenham Hotspur in 2009.

Newcastle United end a run of nine successive losses at Wembley Stadium, with this their first victory there since the 1955 FA Cup final success over Manchester City.

In all competitions, Newcastle United have recorded their first win over Liverpool since a 2-0 Premier League win in December 2015, with this their 18th meeting since then (D5 L12 before today).

Eddie Howe is the first English manager to win either the FA Cup or League Cup since Harry Redknapp won the FA Cup with Portsmouth in 2008, while he’s the first to do so in the League Cup specifically since Steve McClaren with Middlesbrough in 2004.

Newcastle United’s Dan Burn (32y 311d) is the third-oldest Englishman to score in the League Cup final.

Mohamed Salah both failed to record a shot or create a chance for Liverpool in a game in which he has started for only the third time.

In all competitions this season, Newcastle United pair Alexander Isak (8 goals) and Jacob Murphy (1 goal) have combined for nine goals, with no other Premier League duo boasting more in 2024-25.
