Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has rejected the suggestion that his side were not as “hungry” as opponents Newcastle United during Sunday’s Carabao Cup final defeat. Newcastle won 2-1 at Wembley Stadium to secure their first domestic major trophy since the FA Cup in 1955.

Newcastle United have won their first domestic trophy in 70 years after beating Liverpool 2-1 in the Carabao Cup. Tens of thousands of Magpies fans flooded the capital to watch their team end their drought against last year's winners at Wembley.

Because the great drought is over; their Wembley jinx with it, Liverpool’s league leaders eviscerated as Newcastle celebrated. Their previous trophy at Wembley came a few weeks after Winston Churchill had stood down as prime minister.
