Newcastle United captain Bruno Guimaraes admits that winning the Carabao Cup is “one of the best days of his life”.

Dan Burn opened the scoring for the Magpies in the 48th minute before Alexander Isak doubled their lead in the 58th minute.

Federico Chiesa managed to pull a goal back in deep into stoppage time but it wasn’t enough as Newcastle held on for the win to secure their first piece of silverware since 1969.

Guimaraes has dedicated their trihumph in the Carabao Cup final to the club’s supporters by insisting they “deserve everthing”.

“It’s all for these fans,” Guimaraes told Sky Sports. “They deserve everything. When I first came here, I said I wanted to put my name in history.

“We can now say we are the champions again. This is one of the best days of my life.

“I don’t have any words. It’s the best day of my life. For them (the fans) it’s like the World Cup. People have grown up and not seen us as champions. My first year as captain of this club and it’s one of the best days. This is unbelievable.

“This is my second home. We are making history. Some day when I leave this club I want the fans to sing my name the way they do to Shearer. He texted me before the game. I’m so emotional today.”
