Overview
- Thierno Barry scored the only goal after Tyrique George's low shot squirmed under goalkeeper Lukáš Horníček, securing a 1-0 Premier League win for Everton at St James' Park on Monday.
- The result completed a four-day double for Everton after their 3-1 Carabao Cup win over Newcastle four days earlier.
- Jack Grealish was again omitted from Everton's matchday squad after the club cited a breach of discipline and described him as not match fit.
- Newcastle substitute Jacob Ramsey received two yellow cards in quick succession late on and was sent off, which will rule him out of the Magpies' next match.
- The victory moved Everton up to seventh in the table while Newcastle dropped to 13th, and pockets of home supporters booed at half-time and full-time as pressure mounted on manager Matthias Jaissle.
