90+5′ – The final whistle is heard. Everton’s set piece in defense was once again brutally exposed. But the vulnerable aspect of the midfield without Gueye is also a big concern. Newcastle 4-1 against Everton, their first away win since early April.

90′ – Five minutes are added here.
87′- Barry replaces Beto, the Blues remaining in the stadium give him a round of applause.
84′ – KDH corner from the left, cleared, falls to Alcaraz but this time he cannot replicate his previous shot and the ball deflects.
79′ – Everton intentionally expose themselves here as they advance, Ramsey alone in goal on Pickford, the keeper saves.
Next series of changes for the Blues: Ndiaye and Grealish leave, Tyler Dibling and Dwight McNeil enter.
72′ – Beautiful cross from Ndiaye, Barry’s header goes over the top, but it looks like it came from Burns. Enemy number one, Craig Pawson, wants nothing to do with it and the entire stadium howls.

70′ – This cannot be ruled out. KDH with brilliant control to bring the ball down with his back to goal, takes another touch to position himself and another to stab Ramsdale, it is now 4-1 to the visitors. Dewsbury-Hall is in some form.
65′ – Great cross into the area by Mykolenko, Barry misses his header, has a second chance with Burns out of position and shoots poorly on goal. That’s his first goal for Everton!! Or is it like that?
Replays show the ball left Barry’s hand when he missed his initial header, and the referee disallows the goal. Poor Thierno’s wait continues.
60′ – Everton corner, short, ball into the area and cleared. Long shot of O’Brien coming in. Clear.
Grealish crosses into the box, O’Brien heads for Barry but the Magpies are able to clear.
The Toon travel support loves this and makes fun of Pickford and his two mistakes today.

57′ – Barnes 1v1 with Pickford. The goalkeeper does well to save. Corner to Toon. Sounds in the area, shot by Woltemade… from Pickford, clearance on the goal line.
Another cross into the area, Pickford hesitates and Thiaw heads in unopposed, 4-0. The humiliation continues with more than half an hour left.
53′ – Grealish wins a corner against Livramento. Garner inswinger, leaves the first post Barnes and Ramsdale stop! The ball rolls out of the area… Alcaraz approaches and fires a shot that absolutely bounces off the other post and returns. It’s going to be that kind of day.

52′ – Excellent control from Barry on the edge of the area, but instead of turning and shooting, he looks for Ndiaye who has a weak shot straight at Ramsdale.
50′ – Barnes crosses into the area, heads collide between Elanga and Myko at the far post, the Everton defender is down.
46′ – The second half begins, as expected, Iroegbunam leaves the field for Alcaraz. Garner looks like the only defensive midfielder with KDH to his left and Charly to his right.
Halftime thoughts – Two games in a row, an Everton midfielder with a performance of 1/10. Everton could have been better off with ten men today instead of going with Iroegbunam.

45′ – Iroegbunam attacks again. He makes a full tackle on Elanga, finds Woltemade alone with Pickford attacking, and the German striker hits the goalkeeper to make it 3-0 at half-time. What a disaster this has become, exactly like the Spurs game.
38′ – If the Blues can close the gap now, it will be a good second half. The energy hasn’t wavered yet, which is good.
There just aren’t enough Blues in the box to keep sending crosses into the box, especially with how good Newcastle are in the air.
35′ – Miley is open again on the Everton left, luckily her cross into the area is poor.

33′ – Great passing movement between KDH, Grealish and Ndiaye, but the on-loan City player does not continue his run and the opportunity is wasted.
30′ – Lovely ball to Barry from Grealish, but Burns takes the ball away from him.
After half an hour, Everton were not bad with the ball, but they were amateurish in their own field and paid the price.
29′ – Now Lewis Hall in open space, shot partially blocked by Keane and goes over Pickford and over the bar, phew! Another corner from Miley from the right, O’Brien commits a foul and it’s a free kick.
25′ – Everton make a mess clearing their area and are now 2-0 down. Garner blocks a cross, Iroegbunam can’t clear, the ball ping-pongs until it falls towards Miley on the edge of the area. He fires his volley straight at Pickford, who botches his save and somehow parries it into his own net. Comedy of errors and the Toffees are two down.
24′ – Miscommunication between Pickford and O’Brien, and the defender has to cut the ball out for a corner with Barnes lurking. Corner from the right by Everton, this time cleared much better.

22′ – If it’s any consolation, Newcastle have scored first in their last three away games and lost them all. The Toffees have 69% of the possession right now.
17′ – Grealish finds Dewsbury-Hall in the left inside channel, shot blocked for a corner. The corner is cleared but Everton continue to press and the crowd gets louder.
The game is stopped because Joelinton is receiving medical attention.
15′ – Good ball possession with a shot blocked in the area.
13′ – Garner finds Grealish in the channel, his cut is cleared, it falls on Garner in the area, the shot is poor. Everton at least is alive.
10′ – Everton go down the other side and a cross from Ndiaye goes for a corner, which then becomes a throw-in. Long ball from Myko inside the area, Tarky lowers it with his chest for Keane to shoot… into Burn and another corner. A Dewsbury-Hall loop, Keane ignores Joelinton’s shirt tug and Barry’s header goes over the bar.

8′ – Livramento wins a corner on the Everton left now. Hall puts it low in the box, cleared by Ndiaye, but returned to the Magpies.
Now Barnes gets between Tarkowski and Keane, his shot is blocked by Keane and bounces over the goal for another corner. Hall swings and Pickford puts it over the crossbar from his goal line, but the referee calls a foul on the goalkeeper.
5′ – Newcastle certainly have their tails up early after that goal with most of the possession early on as Everton are struggling to string passes together.
3′ – This was exactly what Tottenham did to Everton in the Blues’ first home defeat at Hill Dickinson, with a corner kick in the congested six-yard box.
1′ – Everton kick-off.
Woltemade immediately turns Keane in the middle and plays Elanga through. The winger is faster than Mykolenko and shoots at the far post, Pickford plays it safe and deflects the ball for a corner. Corner in the six-yard box, Pickford stays on his line and Thiaw, unopposed, rises higher and heads in from close range. 55 seconds later, Everton are behind 1-0.

Starting lineups
Everton – As expected, Tim Iroegbunam replaces Idrissa Gueye.
Newcastle – Nick Pope has been replaced by Aaron Ramsdale after his latest error in midweek.
Match preview
Everton are back at the Hill Dickinson Stadium looking to make it three wins in a row after beating Fulham and Manchester United either side of the international break.
Visiting Newcastle are coming off a great 2-1 win over Manchester City at home last weekend, but lost by the same score to Olympique Marseille in midweek and have not traveled well this season.
The injury situation worsened for the Blues with Seamus Coleman joining Jarrad Branthwaite, Nathan Patterson and Merlin Rohl still out, while the visitors are missing Yoane Wissa, Kieran Trippier and William Osula.
