Everton have been credited with having a hand in Newcastle United’s remarkable turnaround. Two sides meet on Thursday night with the Magpies having already secured one victory over Everton back in February.
That game ended 3-1 at St James’ Park and took the Magpies out of the drop zone and within a point of Everton. Since then, United have picked up 13 points while Everton have managed just three.
Speaking on The Everything is Black and White Podcast, the Liverpool Echo’s Christopher Beesley feels that win for Newcastle may prove to be a turning point in the season for both sides. Beesley told host Andrew Musgrove: “If we go back to that game at St James’ Park, that’s could be a pivotal moment for both clubs because it was sort of like a double whammy for Everton.
