Newcastle are the first Carabao Cup finalists for the 2024-25 season. The Coals secured their place in the League Cup final after a 2-0 win at the Emirates over Arsenal, which they won by the same margin in the return leg.
The challenge at St. James' Park was broken after 19 minutes by Murphy, who sent the ball into the net after it had previously hit the post.
In the second half, the home team came close to scoring a second goal with Gordon, who made no mistake in the 52nd minute, doubling his lead.
Raya made an unforgivable blunder, also due to his collaboration with Rice, Schar recovered the ball and served Gordon who virtually ended the match. Newcastle secured their third League Cup final in history, a trophy they have never won.
The Bianconeri will try to break this taboo against Tottenham or Liverpool at Wembley. Spurs started from the advantage of a 1-0 victory in the first semi-final, while the Reds will try to overturn it, to confirm that they are the best English team. (A2 Televizion)
