Newcastle United co-owners Mehrdad Ghodoussi and Jamie Reuben both took to social media to share their delight following the Carabao Cup semi-final win over Southampton. An early brace from Sean Longstaff was enough to ease the Magpies to Wembley next month with an aggregate 3-1 victory over the Saints.
Che Adams' fine first-half strike set up an intriguing second-half, but despite plenty of possession for Nathan Jones' side, Newcastle held firm to seal their first domestic final since 1999. The Magpies will most likely face top-four rivals Manchester United for the showpiece occasion, with the Red Devils earning a three-goal lead from their first leg victory away at Nottingham Forest.
Tuesday night's victory is the latest highlight in what has already proven to be a stunning transformation on Tyneside since the takeover in October 2021. Ghodoussi has often taken to social media to pay tribute to Eddie Howe and the squad on matchdays, and joined in the celebrations following the success over the Saints.
