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.
