Carabao Cup Final: Carragher Explains Why Liverpool Lost 2-1 To Newcastle

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has admitted that the team could not cope against Newcastle United in Sundays Carabao Cup final.

In a week where the Reds were eliminated from the Champions League, they also missed the chance to secure the first silverware of the season.

Dan Burn and Alexander Isak scored either side of half-time to give Eddie Howes side the lead.

Federico Chiesas stoppage-time goal was merely a consolation, as Newcastle won a trophy for the first time in 70 years.

Under Eddie Howe, Newcastle have been a physical team, but they saved their best for today, Carragher said on Sky Sports.
