"This is the best day of my life" - Newcastle United celebrity fans including Alan Shearer and Sam Fender celebrate Carabao Cup win

Goals from Dan Burn and Alexander Isak put Eddie Howe’s side on their way to Carabao Cup Final success on Sunday evening and plenty of famous faces were watching, both at Wembley Stadium and across the world.

North Shields singer-songwriter Sam Fender is currently touring across Europe and was unable to attend the final due to a Berlin gig on the night of the fixture, but took to social media throughout the day.

“Already got emotional today” said the star before kick off, adding “shed some tears.”

By full time he returned to Instagram, saying “That’s me gone again, ****ing hell.

“Best day ever” he added. “We deserved it. 70 Years. The clock has been reset.”

The star then took to the stage in Germany, changing one of his lyrics to “Who is god? His name is Dan Burn” as Fender and his band played the full set in their Newcastle United shirts.

Presenting duo Ant and Dec were at Wembley for the day, tearing up at full time as they also took to Instagram stories. “Well, we did it, get in there!”

“This is the best day of my life, well, aside from the wedding, and the kids, but it’s one of the best days of my life! added Dec.
