Newcastle news: Magpies fans should not ‘calm down’

Former England goalkeeper Joe Hart believes Newcastle fans should not “calm down” after winning the Carabao Cup.

Newcastle beat Liverpool 2-1 at Wembley on 16 March to win their first trophy in 70 years.

“I think because of the lack of dominance from the ‘big clubs’, everyone is getting opportunities, earning opportunities and doing so well”, Hart told BBC Radio 5 Live’s Monday Night Club.

“I have played at that level and you really have to earn your trophies – but this year especially feels wild.”

“There will be a lot of haters looking at that Newcastle celebration saying: You won the League Cup, calm down.’ No, absolutely not. It was an incredible moment for that city and that football club.”
