There were 95 minutes on the clock at Wembley when Newcastle United supporters waved their flags and defiantly roared: 'Na-na-na na, Geordies' to the tune of 'Hey Jude'. You would never have thought their side were 2-0 down against Manchester United in the closing stages of the Carabao Cup final.
Can you imagine if Newcastle ever finally end their long wait to win silverware? In a strange way, this felt like a glimpse of what those scenes would look like - even in defeat.
Newcastle's 54-year drought goes on, of course, after a header from Casemiro and Sven Botman's unfortunate own goal left the Magpies with a mountain to climb before half-time on Sunday. Newcastle have now lost each of their last nine matches at Wembley, a run that began in the 1974 FA Cup final, extending what is the longest ever losing streak by a club side at the venue.
