Everton 1-4 Newcastle United highlights and reaction as Magpies finally end away day hoodoo
Newcastle United make their first appearance at Everton’s new Hill Dickinson Stadium this evening as the look to bring their poor run away from St James’ Park to a stop with a welcome win.
United’s struggles on the road are well documented, but head coach Eddie Howe has a strong squad available to him tonight. Sven Botman, Kieran Trippier and Yoane Wissa are missing through injury, but the Newcastle boss still has plenty of talent in the travelling party.
They have had four days to recover from Tuesday night’s Champions League defeat at Marseille, and that result could lead to some changes tonight, with Aaron Ramsdale pushing for a place in goal ahead of Nick Pope.
We’ll have all the latest from Merseyside tonight as it happens, with team news, match updates and analysis, ratings and reaction.

FULL-TIME: Everton 1-4 Newcastle
Newcastle finally win a Premier League game away from home this season and they’ve done it in some style. They absolutely battered Everton from pillar to post and made their first visit to the Hill Dickinson Stadium a memorable one. A brace from Malick Thiaw and goals from Lewis Miley and Nick Woltemade sealed a memorable win which should come as a huge source of relief for Magpies head coach Eddie Howe.

Everton hit the crossbar
Ramsdale had to beat away a James Garner corner and the ball fell to Charly Alcaraz who absolutely rocketed a half volley off the crossbar. He certainly caught hold of that one.

Ramsdale forced into a save
A first opening for Everton in the second half but Iliman Ndiaye’s left-footed effort was straight down the throat of Aaron Ramsdale.

HALF-TIME: Everton 0-3 Newcastle
What an incredible half from Newcastle who are 3-0 up and good value for it. A run of nine Premier League away games without a win is now just 45 minutes away from ending. Everton fans booed their players off at half time.

Has oozed quality on the left.
Bruno Guimaraes 8
Much better.

A decisive force.

An assist and a goal. That should say it all.

Has been a menace.

Probably his best game for United.

Incredible finish
A hopeful ball was not given up on by Anthony Elanga who beat Iroegbunam to the ball and played the ball into the path of Nick Woltemade who controlled the ball well and lobbed it over a desparing Jordan Pickford to make it 3-0 to Newcastle.
18:14KEY EVENT
GOAL!!!! Everton 0-3 Newcastle
Wow. What a goal from Nick Woltemade.
18:11Lee Ryder
Important moments
As great as this scoreline is Newcastle don’t want to give Everton an inch here. Because 2-1 is a dangerous score.
Surely United have the confidence to see out the half?
40 minsSean McCormick
The game has settled down a bit
The game has settled down a bit with neither side creating many chances in the last 10 minutes. This is an important period for Newcastle to ride out. If they can get into half-time 2-0 ahead, it is a big mountain for Everton to climb.
28 minsSean McCormick
Lewis Hall hits the bar
It is all Newcastle and the Everton crowd are getting restless. Lewis Hall’s shot deflected off Michael Keane and looped over Jordan Pickford and hit the crossbar. Newcastle fans are chanting: ‘Cheer up Jordan Pickford’ and ‘how s*** must you be, we’re winning away’.
24 minsSean McCormick
Error from Jordan Pickford
A scrappy goal but Newcastle will take it. Some good work from Anthony Elanga initially saw his cross cleared. The ball fell into Tino Livramento’s path, he found Harvey Barnes whose low cross was cleared back to Livramento. His shot was well of target but was recycled by Dan Burn who diverted the ball into Lewis Miley and his left-footed shot somehow squirmed through Jordan Pickford. Newcastle 2-0 up and good value for the lead.
17:55KEY EVENT
GOAL!!!!! Everton 0-2 Newcastle
Lewis Miley makes it 2-0 to the Magpies.
20 minsSean McCormick
Joelinton back on
After receiving some instructions on the touchline from Eddie Howe, Joelinton is back on the pitch. Sandro Tonali, Joe Willock and Jacob Ramsey were all sent to warm up but Joelinton looks OK to continue for now.
17:50Lee Ryder
So far so good?
It’s just coming up to the mid-way point in the first half and Newcastle will be pretty chuffed with things so far. That said Everton have been knocking on the door and are slowly starting to ask questions.
18 minsSean McCormick
Joelinton down
The Newcastle midfielder is down and receiving treatment with an injury that isn’t immediately clear when it happened. The Brazilian is getting his leg stretched out but looks in a bit of discomfort.
17 minsSean McCormick
Newcastle living dangerously
Grealish was at the heart of it again and his clever reverse pass set Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall into space in the penalty area but his cut back was cut out by Dan Burn. Newcastle then managed to deal with the resulting corner.
