Within a week, Liverpool lost consecutively in 2 cup tournaments. After being eliminated from the Champions League, coach Arne Slot's team lost again in the English League Cup final this morning (March 17).

Newcastle United beat Liverpool.

Newcastle United, on the other hand, had more shots. Most of them were unclear chances but the team only needed to take advantage of one to take the lead. In the 45th minute, Dan Burn jumped high to head a dangerous corner kick to open the scoring.

This goal made the second half more exciting. Liverpool dominated with 72% possession. In the defensive position waiting for counter-attacks, Newcastle United also created many opportunities and they were the more effective team.

Isak and his teammates won the English League Cup.

Alexander Isak scored twice in the space of a minute against Liverpool. The first time, the Swedish striker was caught offside. However, in the next shot, Newcastle United doubled the gap.

Liverpool made continuous substitutions and went all out in the attack for the remainder of the match. However, they only managed to score one goal when the match entered extra time. Federico Chiesa gave Liverpool hope but he and his teammates could not turn the game around.

Winning 2-1 against Liverpool, Newcastle United won the 2024-2025 English League Cup. This is the first title of this team after 70 years of empty hands.

Liverpool no longer have a chance to win trophies outside the Premier League. Coach Arne Slot's team was eliminated from the FA Cup, Champions League and lost in the League Cup final.
