LONDON: Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe reflected on his team’s celebrations after ending their 70-year-long drought without a major domestic trophy after the Magpies defeated Liverpool in the final of the Carabao Cup. Despite the unreal achievement from Howe’s men, the English head coach confirmed he did not join the celebrations that dragged late into the night and claimed his side is an emotional one after the club went into celebration mode post the final whistle.
“We feel we deserved to win the game, and that makes it that much more satisfying. Winning the trophy was the number one objective, but then you want to play well and do yourselves justice. The players were magnificent; we were really committed, and now we get to enjoy the reward for the next few days.
“I think we’re an emotional football club. There are a lot of extreme emotions after wins and defeats but it’s been a long wait for a trophy for everybody, so it’s great to be the team that has ended the long spell. With that comes a sort of release from everybody. We will enjoy this for a few days and get back to work,” said Howe to Sky Sports. IANS
