Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has rejected the suggestion that his side were not as “hungry” as opponents Newcastle United during Sunday’s Carabao Cup final defeat. Newcastle won 2-1 at Wembley Stadium to secure their first domestic major trophy since the FA Cup in 1955.

Newcastle United captain Bruno Guimarães said it was the best day of his life as they beat Liverpool 2-1 in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley Stadium.

Because the great drought is over; their Wembley jinx with it, Liverpool’s league leaders eviscerated as Newcastle celebrated. Their previous trophy at Wembley came a few weeks after Winston Churchill had stood down as prime minister.
