Liverpool vs Newcastle LIVE: Carabao Cup final score and updates as Tonali curls shot just wide

Harvey Barnes takes a shot from the left side of the box and wins a corner as Ibrahima Konate turns the ball behind.

The resultant corner is sent deep into the box. Dan Burn lunges at it and wins the header.

He directs it down into the ground and guides the ball into the far bottom corner!

42 mins: The ball strikes Trippier’s hand inside the Newcastle box as he tries to get to the ball before Luis Diaz.

VAR looks at the incident and decides against awarding a penalty.

Trippier’s arm is out to help him maintain balance and therefore not in an unnatural decision is the official word.

39 mins: Tripper is clutching his right hamstring may have an issue.

That won’t be a good thing for Newcastle.

Konate and Joelinton then tussle over an aerial ball with the Liverpool defender winning the ball.

It drops towards Tonali and Szoboszlai who clash heads and cause a pause in the game.

38 mins; Joelinton turns and roars to the Newcastle fans after racing back to dispossess Quansah. In response, the Newcastle fans chant his name. Hard to argue against the idea that Newcastle just want this more at present.

36 mins: The corner is sent over to the far post where Burn wins the header.

He gets it to Schar, I think, but his flick on lands in Kelleher’s arms.

Positive stuff for Newcastle.

35 mins: Newcastle almost find the opening goal from what was their sixth corner of the final already. Burn was the obvious target but won his header at the back post and Guimaraes flick would have beaten Kelleher if either side of the goalkeeper.

Newcastle have not seen much of the ball but their direct approach has unnerved Liverpool.

33 mins: Brilliant from Robertson!

Harvey Barnes gets a bit of space on the left side and lifts a cross into the box.

Isak wins the header but nods it straight at the left-back who blocks it.

Following up is Trippier but his shot is blocked by Robertson as well and goes out for a corner.

30 mins: Robertson then delivers the corner which Joelinton handles well enough.

The Reds win a throw in that gets played back to Konate.

He gives it to Quansah who threads a pass forward which gets intercepted.

28 mins: Mo Salah has been starved of service so far but that is down to Newcastle determined effort to restrict him.

Luis Diaz is seeing more space on the opposite wing as a result and he wins a free kick.

Andy Robertson stands over the ball before flicking it into the box.

Schar gets his head on it first and deflects it out for a corner.

27 mins: Potentially the biggest moment of the game, without a shot on target. Quansah’s heavy touch almost saw Isak race through but Konate’s recovering challenge was excellent and perfectly timed. It was a huge boost for Slot that Konate was fit.
