Eddie Howe's side made history at Wembley with a superb display that left the runaway Premier League leaders shell-shocked. Dan Burn put Newcastle ahead late in the first half and Aleksander Isak's 27th goal in all competitions doubled their lead after the interval. Federico Chiesa got one back in the closing seconds, but Newcastle held on for their first major silverware since 1969, when they won the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup.
That success in the predecessor to the Europa League is a relic of a bygone era, but this long-awaited triumph will be forever etched in the memories of the Newcastle fans who turned one half of Wembley into a roiling sea of black and white with their ecstatic celebrations.
It was also Newcastle's first major domestic prize dating back 70 years to the 1955 FA Cup.
