Newcastle United last trophy: when did Magpies last win a cup, which trophies have they won, last cup final

The past 18 months have been one of extraordinary transformation for Newcastle United. Shortly after the Saudi Arabia-led consortium bought the club in 2021, Eddie Howe became manager and they have gone from strength to strength, currently in with a chance of competing in Europe in the 2023/24 season and also in with a shot of winning their first major trophy since 1969.

While they sit third in the Premier League, the Magpies recently beat Southampton 1-0 in the first of two semi-finals in the EFL Cup. A 73rd minute winner from Joelinton secured a necessary advantage for Howe’s men ahead of their second meet with the Saints next week.

The Brazilian number seven had missed a near open goal just 20 minutes before but soon rectified the mistake, while the Saints were left distraught after their goal was disallowed due to handball. St James’ Park is set to host next week’s second leg and while Southampton will fight to keep themselves in the tournament, the Magpies are in a strong position as they eye up their first trophy in over 50 years.
