Manchester United vs Newcastle LIVE: Carabao Cup final result and reaction as Erik ten Hag wins first trophy

Newcastle’s long, long wait for a trophy goes on. The players are rightly dejected as they head up the Wembley stairs to collect their runners-up medals.

When it’s their turn Bruno Fernandes and Harry Maguire lead Manchester United’s triumphant team to the trophy together.

Manchester United have won their first major trophy since the 2017 Uefa Europa League, five years and 278 days ago.

This ends their longest wait for a major trophy since 1983, when they won the FA Cup six years and five days after their previous honour, the 1977 FA Cup.

Casemiro was awarded player of the match. He opened the scoring, ran Man Utd’s midfield and dropped back into defence to keep Newcastle quiet in the closing stages.

There wasn’t really anyone else it could have been.

90+5 mins: Manchester United have done it! They defeat Newcastle at Wembley to win the Carabao Cup. Manchester United’s wait for silverware is over.

It’s been a long six years since the reign of Jose Mourinho but Erik ten Hag is bringing a trophy back to Old Trafford.

90+3 mins: Chance! Manchester United counter-attack with Bruno Fernandes driving into the box. He cuts left before taking a shot which Karius blocks with his body. The ball deflects off the goalkeeper and sails wide of the target.

90+2 mins: Eddie Howe brings on Elliott Anderson and Matt Ritchie to replace Callum Wilson and Miguel Almiron. Another Newcastle free kick is whipped onto Joelinton’s head.

He loops a headed effort over to the top corner but De Gea palms it wide of the post.

90 mins: Manchester United’s club captain, Harry Maguire, comes on to replace Marcus Rashford for the final five minutes of stoppage time.

United are playing with a back five now and are solely focused on keeping Newcastle at bay. Lisandro Martinez marshalls the ball out of play as Callum Wilson tries to get to it.

There’s a bit of a barney between the two players and a few more seconds eke out of the game.

88 mins: Casemiro goes in the book for a late tackle on Joelinton. The free kick is floated into the box before a few pinball headers knock to ball over to Marcus Rashford who boots it away.

Jacob Murphy brings the ball down and drills a shot at goal. It’s a low darting one with a bit of swerve on the ball that carries it wide of the right-hand post.

86 mins: Kieran Trippier gets a better delivery into the box from a corner now but David De Gea confidently comes out and punches the ball clear.

Bruno Fernandes is given the ball and he belts it over to Marcus Rashford on the left wing and Rashford brings the ball deep into Newcastle’s half.
