Supporters lauded midfield enforcer Casemiro after he headed Manchester United in front in the Carabao Cup final against Newcastle United at Wembley on Sunday afternoon.
After a relatively uninspiring opening half an hour from the Reds, they got their noses in front with 33 minutes on the clock. Casemiro connected with Luke Shaw's free-kick delivery and he planted a firm header past Newcastle goalkeeper Loris Karius.

United had created very little up until the goal, meaning it was a moment greatly received and embraced by the supporters.
