Newcastle United were loud and proud at Wembley - but the long wait for a first trophy since 1969 goes on.
Manchester United grabbed the lead on 33 minutes when Luke Shaw’s out-swinging free-kick was headed home by Casemiro. VAR checked for a possible offside for the goal was given.
Not long after, it was 2-0. Rashford was played into the box by Wout Weghorst and his shot deflected off Sven Botman and over Karius.
Here’s our Newcastle player ratings from the defeat at Wembley:

5. Sven Botman - 6
Was unfortunate to see Rashford’s deflect off him and over Karius into the net. Well positioned to produce a couple of strong interceptions. | Getty Images

6. Dan Burn - 6
Headed a huge opportunity wide on 44 minutes. Struggled to offer Newcastle an attacking threat when chasing the game, but that’s because he isn’t an out-and-out left-back. | Getty Images

7. Bruno Guimaraes - 6
You can see why Newcastle missed him, even he has nothing to show for it. Always an option for his teammates. Kept it tidy in midfield. | AFP via Getty Images

8. Sean Longstaff - 5
Grafted, as he always does, but didn’t impact the game. Substituted for Alexander Isak at half-time. | Getty Images
