Newcastle United stunned Premier League leader Liverpool 2-1 to win the Carabao Cup final on Sunday to end 70 years without a major title.

Dan Burn celebrated his first England call-up with a towering header to put Newcastle ahead on the stroke of halftime, and Alexander Isak scored Newcastle's second with a first-time finish after Jacob Murphy's knockdown.

Newcastle was the better team against a tired Liverpool, and although Arne Slot's side got a lifeline deep into injury time when Federico Chiesa pulled a goal back, it was too late to stop Newcastle from winning its first title since 1955 and ensuring a place in next season's UEFA Europa League.

In the Premier League, Mikel Merino's flick from Martin Odegaard's 20th-minute corner was enough to give Arsenal a 1-0 win at home to Chelsea and narrow Liverpool's lead to 12 points.

Chelsea was handicapped by injuries to Nicolas Jackson and Cole Palmer, who will drop out of the England squad for the upcoming internationals.

Arsenal deserved its win as Chelsea struggled to create chances, with the best moment for the visiting team coming when Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya almost spilled Marc Cucurella's powerful shot over the line.

Two goals in the last 12 minutes kept Fulham very much in the race to play in Europe next season thanks to a 2-0 win at home to Tottenham.

Rodrigo Muniz punished some poor finishing from Spurs when he side-footed in the opening goal, and Ryan Sessegnon made it 2-0 in the 88th minute when the former Tottenham player curled the ball home to ensure the points.

Bruno Fernandes had a goal and two assists in Manchester United's 3-0 win away to Leicester City, which looks increasingly doomed to relegation.

Rasmus Hojlund and Alejandro Garnacho scored United's first two goals by taking advantage of Leicester's defensive frailties.
