Newcastle boss Eddie Howe is determined to end the club’s 70-year wait for a trophy after his team reached the Carabao Cup final with a thumping semi-final victory over Arsenal.

A dominant 2-0 win secured the Magpies a 4-0 aggregate victory over the Gunners to move within touching distance of what would be a first piece of major silverware since their FA Cup win in 1955.
