Eddie Howe was full of praise for his Newcastle United players, particularly giant defender Dan Burn. Who opened the scoring in an unexpected way to help beat Liverpool 2-1 in the Carabao Cup final.

Burn headed a corner to put the Magpies ahead in stoppage time and Alexander Isak add to the score in the second half. Although the Reds managed to pull one back late on. “

All the players were outstanding today but Dan Burn in particular. I thought he was incredibly important for us,” Howe said after lifting the trophy at Wembley.

“The funny thing is we had been working on set-pieces for two weeks. Before this game and if you had seen us in training you would have thought we had no chance!”

“Burn will be the first to admit he hasn’t been practising his shot like that. When he scored, me and Jason Tindall looked at each other in disbelief.”

In addition to leading Newcastle to their first major international trophy in 70 years, Howe also became the first Englishman to do so since Harry Redknapp in 2008.

“It was an emotional game. “I’ve felt that way all day, which is not who I am, to be honest,” Howe continued.

“But we know the stakes for the fans are high in this game and we want to make everyone here and at Newcastle proud. “

We’ve tried so hard to win the trophy after so many years of pain. I’m really pleased, not just with the result but with the performance. Today สมัคร UFABET วันนี้ รับเครดิตฟรีสำหรับสมาชิกใหม่ we deserved to win. “

We’re trying to do everything we can to make history and hopefully this trophy is a turning point for us.”
