After 70 years of waiting, Newcastle United finally have their hands on domestic silverware after beating Liverpool 2-1 in the Carabao Cup Final at Wembley.

So how did Eddie Howe’s side make such light work of Liverpool?

And will success at Wembley kick start a new era of success on Tyneside?

Ayo Akinwolere is joined by The Athletic's Chris Waugh and Jacob Whitehead, who were both at Wembley, to discuss the significance of the occasion, and the role of a number of Newcastle's individual players. Later, they ask whether League Cup success can provide the launchpad to greater riches.


Host: Ayo Akinwolere

With: Chris Waugh, Jacob Whitehead and Mark Carey
