Ant & Dec scream with joy and Alan Shearer loses his hat as Geordies go wild after Newcastle win Carabao Cup
ANT and Dec were seen screaming with joy as they celebrated Newcastle’s win in the Carabao Cup along with fellow Geordies.
Meanwhile, Alan Shearer was also spotted losing his hat amid the excitement.
The 2-1 win against Liverpool constituted the first domestic win for the Magpies since the 1955 FA Cup final.
In a video posted to their shared TikTok account, the comedy duo shouted: “We did it!”
After briefly pausing, they threw their heads back and resumed their jubilant screaming, shouting “Ahhhhh!” before bursting into laughter.
Ant joked “I’ve lost my voice” while Dec said “I cannot believe it!”
Ant then added “this is amazing” while Dec said: “This is the best day of my life, apart from the wedding and the kids and all that.
“But it’s the best day of my life!”
The pair, both sporting black and white Newcastle scarves, then signed off the video with more chanting and shouting.
Earlier snaps showed the duo jumping for joy after a header by Dan Burn took the side to a 1-0 lead just moments before half-time.
Ant leapt high into the air, while waving his scarf, as Dec put his arm around a fellow fan in the crowd of frenzied supports.
Shortly after half-time, Newcastle’s top goal scorer Alexander Isak thumping in a second goal to double his side’s lead – as ex-Newcastle player Shearer’s hat went flying.
In clips from the game, he can be seen retrieving the black baker boy cap after the frenzied whooping subsides.
Before kick-off, the Toon Army took over Covent Garden in preparation for the long-anticipated clash.
Meanwhile, Wembley was met with a wall of noise and a display of 32,000 black-and-white scarves.
Newcastle had lost five Wembley finals since Jackie Milburn & Co triumphed in 1955, so this was a long overdue trophy for their passionate supporters.
Manager Eddie Howe had been presented with various challenges prior to the game – including an injury to Lewis Hall and Anthony Gordon’s ban.
But, despite Liverpool‘s Federico Chiesa clawing back a goal in injury time, the side romped home to its first domestic victory in 70 years.
This makes Howe the first English manager to win a major English trophy in 17 years, since Harry Redknapp’s Portsmouth won the FA Cup in 2008.
Burn’s scoring header comes just two days after he warned his first England call-up at the age of 32.
The 6ft 7in former Asda worker, who is renowned as one of the nicest men in football, was called up by new England chief Thomas Tuchel for the Wembley World Cup qualifiers against Albania and Latvia.
