The 2-1 win against Liverpool on Sunday constituted the first domestic win for the Magpies since the 1955 FA Cup final.

In a video posted to their shared TikTok account, comedy duo Ant and Dec shouted: “We did it!”

After briefly pausing, they threw their heads back and resumed their jubilant screaming, shouting “Ahhhhh!” before bursting into laughter.

Ant joked “I’ve lost my voice” while Dec said “I cannot believe it!”

Ant then added “this is amazing” while Dec said: “This is the best day of my life, apart from the wedding and the kids and all that.

“But it’s the best day of my life!”

The pair, both sporting black and white scarves, then signed off the video with more chanting and shouting.

Earlier snaps showed the duo jumping for joy after a header by Dan Burn took Newcastle to a 1-0 lead just moments before half-time.

Ant leapt high into the air, while waving his scarf, as Dec thrust his arm around a fellow fan in the crowd of frenzied supporters.

Shortly after half-time, top goal scorer Alexander Isak thumped in a second goal to double his side’s lead – as ex-team member Shearer’s hat went flying.

In clips shown on TV, he could be seen retrieving the black baker boy cap after the celebrations had subsided.

Before kick-off, the Toon Army took over Covent Garden in preparation for the long-anticipated clash.

Meanwhile, Wembley was met with a wall of noise and a display of 32,000 black-and-white scarves.

Newcastle had lost five Wembley finals since Jackie Milburn & Co triumphed in 1955, so this was a long overdue trophy for their passionate supporters.

Manager Eddie Howe had been presented with various challenges prior to the game – including an injured Lewis Hall and banned Anthony Gordon.

But, despite Liverpool‘s Federico Chiesa clawing back a goal in injury time, the side romped home to its first domestic victory in 70 years.

This makes Howe the first English manager to win a major English trophy in 17 years – after Harry Redknapp’s Portsmouth won the FA Cup in 2008.

Burn’s scoring header comes just two days after he earned his first England call-up at the age of 32.
