Liverpool 1–2 Newcastle United: Player Ratings as Reds Stunned in Carabao Cup Final

Liverpool lost in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday to Newcastle United suffering heartbreak twice in a week.

Just five days after being eliminated from the Champions League by PSG, Liverpool took part in their third Carabao Cup final in four seasons. Despite injuries to key defenders, Arne Slot's side were still favored against a dangerous Newcastle United side. The Reds looked apprehensive in attack throughout the first half as Newcastle matched their intensity from kick-off. Then, Dan Burn stunned the Liverpool fans in attendance with a goal during stoppage time.

Just eight minutes out of the tunnel in the second half, Alexander Isak made them pay with a second goal. The Newcastle fans in attendance erupted as their talisman celebrated in front of them. Slot made changes in the second half, but they still failed to find a way past Nick Pope for most of the game. Federico Chiesa scored in second half stoppage time to give Liverpool a brief lifeline, though it was too little too late.

The result marked the first time in nearly 70 years that Newcastle United have won a domestic trophy. A true accomplishment and redemption after falling to Manchester United two seasons ago.
