Newcastle’s Shock Set-Piece Success…
Newcastle’s football captain, Eddie Howe, celebrated his team’s glorious victory over Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final like a kid finding extra fries at the bottom of the bag! Howe admitted he was baffled when their set-piece actually worked, resulting in a goal. “I’ve been a ball of emotions all day, which is unusual for someone who usually keeps cool like a cucumber,” he confessed. With all eyes on them, Howe was relieved they made their fans proud by securing the win. “I almost prepared for an overtime nail-biter when Liverpool scored. It’s never simple with us, but hey, a win’s a win!”
Breaking seven decades of domestic trophy droughts, Newcastle finally quenched its thirst for silverware. Howe was ready to do a celebratory moonwalk despite admitting, “Practicing those set plays was like watching paint dry. Dan Burn scored as if he’d been hiding superpowers – we certainly didn’t spot them in training!” After the match, Howe was ready to toss his coaching manuals into the closet. “I’ll live in the moment for now. Football can wait!”
In the end, Newcastle outmuscled Liverpool, who seemed to be having a collective off day. The Magpies proved that sometimes hard work and a touch of luck are the perfect recipe for victory!
