LONDON – Newcastle United’s near 70-year domestic trophy drought will go on a little longer after Sunday’s League Cup...
Once again the Magpies were found wanting with a trophy at stake. Since winning the FA Cup 68 years ago, Newcastle have three times finished as runners-up in the competition and have now lost two League Cup finals as well.
There is genuine optimism that Newcastle are heading in the right direction under Eddie Howe, although the manager himself says they still have a long way to go. “It is a process, we want to be here on a regular basis. There is a long way to go to be the team we want to be,” Howe told reporters after a disappointing return to Wembley.
“We can be proud of our performance but we were not clinical enough. As much as we didn’t want the final to be a distraction it has been. The players gave everything.” There was not much between the sides in the opening half but goals by Casemiro and a deflected Marcus Rashford effort deflated Newcastle before halftime.
