Newcastle is back in the English League Cup final for another chance to end its 70-year wait for a major domestic trophy. The Saudi-controlled club beat Arsenal 2-0 in the second leg of the semifinals to advance 4-0 on aggregate. Jacob Murphy and Anthony Gordon scored the goals at St. James' Park. Newcastle will play either Tottenham or Liverpool in the March 16 final at Wembley Stadium. Tottenham leads 1-0 after the first leg. It marks another opportunity for Newcastle to capture a first piece of silverware since being bought by Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund in 2021. Newcastle's most recent domestic title was the FA Cup in 1955. Newcastle lost 2-0 to Manchester United in the 2023 League Cup final.
