Manchester United End Trophy Drought with Carabao Cup Triumph
Casemiro and Botman Goals Seal Victory over Newcastle
Ten Hag's Side Claim First Trophy Since 2017
Manchester United have finally ended their six-year trophy drought after a pragmatic and clinical victory over Newcastle United in the EFL Cup final. Casemiro's header and a Sven Botman own goal secured a 2-0 win at Wembley Stadium, giving Erik ten Hag his first major honor as United manager.
The victory marks a significant milestone for ten Hag, who has transformed United's fortunes since taking over in the summer. The Carabao Cup triumph is the club's first since the 2017 Europa League and represents a resurgence for a team that has struggled in recent years.
Casemiro's goal in the 33rd minute gave United the lead, and they doubled their advantage just six minutes later when Botman inadvertently turned the ball into his own net. Newcastle never truly threatened to come back into the game, as United's defense held firm to secure the victory.
The win is a testament to ten Hag's tactical acumen and the players' determination. United have now won their first major trophy under the Dutchman, and they will be hoping to build on this success as they challenge for more silverware this season.
