In a thrilling EFL Cup Final match at Wembley Stadium, Italy international Sandro Tonali helped his Newcastle side secure their first piece of silverware in 56 years. Despite Liverpool's late efforts, with substitute Federico Chiesa scoring in stoppage time, Tonali's solid performance, including a yellow card, contributed to their 2-1 win over the Reds. With Tonali's impressive form, it seems that the Magpies' decision to acquire him has paid off, especially as he has now won his first trophy in England.
After 70 long years, Newcastle United finally clinched a major domestic trophy as they beat defending champions Liverpool 2-1 in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley Stadium. The Magpies, who had previously lost their last five final appearances, including the 2023 Carabao Cup final, were determined to end their drought and put in a stunning performance against the Reds. Goals from Dan Burn and Alexander Isak secured the win for Newcastle, despite a late goal from Liverpool's Federico Chiesa. With this historic victory, Newcastle has once again cemented their place in English football and brought joy to their loyal fans who have waited decades for this moment.
Liverpool secured their spot in the EFL Cup final after defeating Tottenham 4-1 on aggregate. However, Italian player Federico Chiesa was not included in the team despite being named as a substitute. Since moving to Liverpool in the summer, Chiesa has struggled to make an impact on the team, only making nine appearances across all competitions. With Liverpool set to play Plymouth Argyle on Sunday, fans are hoping Chiesa will finally get more playing time.
Liverpool fans were left worried after noticing that Federico Chiesa was snubbed in the starting lineup for their upcoming Champions League game. Despite a tough start to his time at the club, the Italian international managed to score against Accrington Stanley in the FA Cup. However, manager Jurgen Klopp's decision to start 16-year-old Rio Ngumoha on the left instead has raised questions about Chiesa's future at the club. Rumors of a potential January exit for the £12.5 million man have also been fueled by Klopp's recent comments.
Liverpool coach Arne Slot addresses Federico Chiesa's struggles for playing time at the club and explains the difficulties in bringing back injured players, especially with no winter break or mid-week games to help ease them in. Despite his limited playing time, Chiesa has still managed to score one goal and provide one assist in six appearances with the Reds this season. However, with a strong front line that includes Mo Salah, Chiesa may have a tough time breaking into the starting lineup.
Liverpool dominated League Two team Accrington Stanley in the FA Cup third-round tie with a 4-0 win. Diogo Jota and Trent Alexander-Arnold scored in the first half and Jayden Danns and Federico Chiesa added two more goals in the second half.

England international Trent Alexander-Arnold proved his critics wrong by scoring a brilliant goal to secure Liverpool's spot in the fourth round of the FA Cup with a commanding 4-0 win over Accrington Stanley. With captain Virgil van Dijk absent, Alexander-Arnold stepped up to take on the leadership role and led by example. Manager Arne Slot's decision to make eight changes paid off as the Reds cruised to victory against the lower league side, despite Stanley's early resilience. Federico Chiesa also made his mark by scoring his first goal for Liverpool.
After a convincing 4-0 win over League Two team Accrington Stanely, Liverpool FC's Diogo Jota, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jayden Danns and Federico Chiesa have proven themselves as attacking powerhouses.
