Manchester United celebrate winning the Carabao Cup! However, the loser Martin Dúbravka can celebrate with him

Manchester United can celebrate a new trophy. Erik ten Hag’s men beat Newcastle 2: 0 with goals from Casemiro and an own goal from Sven Botman. “Slavit” can also be defeated by Martin Dúbravka.

Before the game, this topic was widely discussed. Martin Dúbravka was on loan at United and played in the Carabao Cup, so he could not be in the squad for the match.

However, if he wanted to have a win of this trophy in his career statistics, he ironically had to hope for a defeat of his current team.

And that’s what happened. In the 33rd minute, Casemiro sent Manchester United into the lead after a standard situation, as he directed his header behind Loris Karius.

He cashed in one more time in the first half. However, he was outmuscled by his teammate Sven Botman, who crossed the ball into the goalkeeper’s opposite corner.

The Magpies couldn’t react to the two-goal lead and the trophy was won by the team from Manchester, who still hold hopes of winning the title.

Paradoxically, Dúbravka, who would not have won the trophy if Newcastle had won, can celebrate as he did not play a single game in this cup.
