There will reaction from Wembley to follow. Thanks for reading. Congratulations, Newcastle United fans.

Local hero Dan Burn spoke to Sky Sports:

“I’ve had worse weeks! I don’t want to go to sleep because I feel like I am dreaming. I knew Alexis [Mac Allister] wasn’t looking so I could get a jump on him. As soon as I headed it, I knew it was in. I don’t get many so at least I saved it for a big occasion. I feel strange the minute. It is hard to put into words.”

Alexander Isak on Big Dan Burn: “He was brilliant. He sets the foundation for us to be able to perform. It’s amazing and this is just the start. We will see so much more. We are all aware of how much it means.

“For us to be able to give the fans that, it is amazing. First half was frustrating for me but I kept telling myself that my moment would come. When I got the chance, I put it in the back of the net. When you have been without a trophy for so long, it can be in the back of your head. Hopefully it is brighter days ahead.”
