In a tense match at Wembley, Liverpool found themselves under pressure as Newcastle held onto a precarious 2-1 lead in the closing minutes. Despite being the reigning champions, Liverpool struggled to gain possession in the opposition's third, unable to capitalize on their desperate need for an equalizer. Newcastle displayed remarkable resilience, employing a gritty strategy to fend off Liverpool's advances. The scene was set for a dramatic ending, with Eddie Howe's side successfully executing their defensive tactics, further solidifying their ability to manage high-stakes situations and ultimately claim victory amidst high drama.
Liverpool, the champions elect of England, have five minutes to find an equalising goal, and don't manage a single touch in the opposition third.
Eddie Howe's team seems to have taken the path of most rather than least resistance, trusting in their ability to dig deeper and uglier and more painfully than you.
Can there be any more forlorn, godforsaken assignment than trying to wrestle Newcastle away from the corner flag in the dying seconds of a Wembley final?
Sandro Tonali accepts his yellow card as if it is a medal, illustrating the significance of that moment for Newcastle.
