After initially been given as an own goal by Sven Botman, the second goal was subsequently officially credited to Marcus Rashford.

This was Newcastle United's first major Final since the 1999 FA Cup Final defeat to Manchester United at the old Wembley Stadium. . Their only previous League Cup Final was the 2-1 loss to Manchester City in 1976. . The last time they won a major trophy now remained as the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup success in 1969. .

With Nick Pope suspended, Martin Dubravka cup-tied and Karl Darlow on loan at Hull City, goalkeeper Loris Karius made his debut for the Magpies in all competitions. . The Toon had now lost on their last nine visits to Wembley Stadium.
