Eddie Howe’s Newcastle Marches to Carabao Cup Final in Style
What a night for Newcastle United! Eddie Howe’s men have stormed into the Carabao Cup final after a dominant 2-0 win over Arsenal, sealing a 4-0 aggregate triumph. St. James’ Park was absolutely rocking, and the Toon Army can finally dream of ending their long trophy drought.
Let’s talk about this game. Newcastle came in with a solid 2-0 lead from the first leg, but they knew they had to finish the job. And boy, did they deliver! Jacob Murphy set the tone early, pouncing on a rebound in the 19th minute after Alexander Isak's shot rattled the post. Arsenal had their chances, with Martin Ødegaard coming agonizingly close, but Newcastle never looked back.

Then came the moment that sealed it—a nightmare for Arsenal’s keeper David Raya. A poor pass intended for Declan Rice was intercepted by Fabian Schär, and Anthony Gordon made no mistake, slotting it home to send Newcastle into dreamland. The Magpies were relentless, pressing high, attacking with intent, and showing the kind of energy and desire that Arsenal just couldn’t match.
Eddie Howe deserves massive credit for how he's transformed this side. He spoke after the game about Newcastle’s aggressive approach, their smart pressing, and the team’s ability to handle big occasions much better than before. They learned from their previous final defeat against Manchester United in 2023, and this time, they look more prepared than ever to bring silverware back to Tyneside.
On the other hand, Arsenal’s Mikel Arteta admitted that his side just wasn’t clinical enough. They had moments but lacked the efficiency needed to turn the tie around. For them, the focus now shifts to chasing Liverpool in the Premier League.
So, who will Newcastle face in the final? It’ll be either Liverpool or Tottenham, and we’ll find out soon. But one thing’s for sure—this Newcastle team is hungry, they’re fearless, and they have their eyes on the prize. Wembley awaits!
