Newcastle ended their 70-year-long trophy drought two days ago by beating Liverpool 2-1 in the EFL Cup final. Thus, they erased the title of the “most unsuccessful big club in the world” that had stood next to their name for a long time. And although it’s unclear which side could take the “infamous trophy” from the Magpies, Tottenham would have to be in the mix.
