Newcastle manager Eddie Howe admitted his side "were just not clinical enough in front of goal" as they lost to Manchester United in the Carabao Cup final.
Erik ten Hag's side secured a 2-0 victory over the Magpies thanks to a Casemiro header and an own goal from Sven Botman. Both of the goals came in the first half, and while Howe's men dominated possession in the opening 45 minutes, it was United who looked in control of the tie.
Newcastle pushed hard to get back into the game in the second half, but the Reds managed the game well and were able to see the game out to win their first trophy since 2017. United will now be focused on securing a top-four finish in the Premier League this season, while also targeting Europa League and FA Cup glory.
