"It's all for these fans. They deserve everything. When I first came here I said I wanted to put my name in history.
"We can now say we are the champions again. This is one of the best days of my life.
"I don't have any words. It's the best day of my life. For them [the fans] it's like the World Cup. People have grown up and not seen us as champions. My first year as captain of this club and it's one of the best days. This is unbelievable.
"This is my second home. We are making history. Some day when I leave this club I want the fans to sing my name the way they do to Shearer. He text me before the game. I'm so emotional today."
“I am very very emotional and have been all day which is unlike me.
"We knew what was at stake today for all of our fans, we wanted to do them proud and win the trophy.
"I am so, so pleased with the result and the performance - we deserved to win today.
"It was tough when Liverpool scored. I was thinking about extra time, we always make it difficult for ourselves it was never going to be 2-0."
"We were well aware of the history and we wanted to do the club proud. We wanted to score, we wanted to perform and we wanted to win.
"We are breaking new ground, I thought we were magnificent today.
"We worked consistently for two weeks on set plays just for this game and if you had seen us in practice you would have said we had no chance.
"We couldn’t believe Dan Burn scored - he didn’t train like that! He was a colossus for us."
"I want to enjoy it first. I am always about tomorrow but I’ll put the coaching books away for a few days.
"Both teams were quite direct and we dealt with that really well. Nobody wanted to make a mistake, there wasn’t much pretty football played but we were effective in both boxes.
"We didn’t want to show our hand when we played them a few weeks ago, we still wanted to win that game we just did it in a different way."
"It's an unbelievable feeling, an unbelievable day. I dreamed so much of this feeling and this day. Well done to every player, coach and everyone connected to the club.
"My journey since I started playing football to come from Brazil to here today makes me feel proud. It's an honour for me to give something back to the fans. They support us even in difficult moment. They deserve this after so long.
"It's the start of a new era for this club.
"It was so disappointing in the last final when we came here and lost. We didn't want to leave anything in tank today. Everyone was fighting and running. I'm so glad and happy for the fans. I'm happy to make my family proud."
On Eddie Howe: "He is great. He is a great man who works hard to give everything. It has been an unbelievable journey together and I'm happy to give him the title too.
"Every time I step on the pitch I do it for him. He changed my position and gave me the confidence to play. He's a great man, I love him."
"It was his [Dan Burn's] game. He is brilliant. If he can score goals then great but it's the way he defends. That sets the foundation for us.
"This is really just the start. We will see more from the fans and what it means for the people when we get back to Newcastle. We are all aware of how long it's been for the fans without a trophy.
"This game is about moments and it's not about being really good as a striker but it's about being there to score when needed.
"The first half was a bit frustrating for me but I kept telling myself my moment would come.
"When you've been without a trophy for so long it can be in the back of your head but no hopefully we have won this it is bright days in front of us."
"I've had worse weeks. I don't want to go to sleep because I feel like I'm dreaming and it's all going to be a lie."
On his goal: "I knew Alexis [Mac Allister] wasn't looking at the ball and I'd be able to get a jump on him. I don't get many so I saved it for a big occasion.
"I feel sometimes I get around bodies and it's tough to get free.
"I feel strange, I feel numb at the minute."
On when he needs to report for England duty: "Tomorrow morning. I'll be first there tomorrow at 8 o'clock."
