I’ll leave you with Andy Hunter’s report – goodnight folks.
Newcastle reaction
Malick Thiaw
I’m just grateful, it’s a great moment for me. Since I’ve been here, the fans have treated me like this is my new house.
Nick Woltemade
[On his goal] I was a bit lucky that it went in. But yeah, it was a good goal.
[On settling in at Newcastle] It’s been a really easy transition. Off the pitch, it’s good for us to have each other (looks at Thiaw) – two German guys, it’s important for us. But also the other guys are really good and you can see the fans… it feels like home already.
I think I can still improve but scoring goals is the most important thing for a striker and I’m really happy.
There’s more Premier League action tonight. I know. Spurs v Fulham kicks off at 8pm; you can follow that with Scott Murray.
Full time: Everton 1-4 Newcastle
Newcastle’s miserable away run ends with an empathic win at Everton, who were complicit in their own downfall. Malick Thiaw scored twice, with Lewis Miley and Nick Woltemade getting the others. A quietly beautiful goal from Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall was a small consolation.
90+1 min Five minutes of added time.
90 min: Newcastle substitutions Fabian Schar, Anthony Gordon and Sandro Tonali replace the excellent Bruno Guimaraes, the superb Lewis Hall and the even better Nick Woltemade. He’s a player.
89 min Garner slips and then wipes out Ramsey. The referee decides not to book him.
87 min: Everton substitution Beto replaces Thierno Barry up front.
84 min An Everton corner is half cleared to Alcaraz, who spoons a half-volley into the stratosphere.
82 min Newcastle are happily passing the clock down. They had a woolly spell at 1-0 but have otherwise been excellent.
Updated
80 min: Everton substitutions Tyler Dibling and Dwight McNeil replace Jack Grealish and Iliman Ndiaye. The game’s gone.
79 min This time Willock plays a more careful pass to put Ramsey through on goal. Ramsey’s touch is imperfect and his shot from the angle is saved with his legs by Pickford.
A word too for Woltemaded, whose pass to Willock opened the game up completely. He has been majestic in every facet of the game. Okay, every facet apart from running really fast.
78 min Newcastle break four on four after Joelinton wins a loose ball in midfield. Willock overhits his pass to Ramsey and the move peters out.
76 min There was at least one famous 4-4 at Goodison Park (I’d have to check but I think it was 20 February 1991). Nothing since Dewsbury-Hall’s goal has suggested we are about to witness another at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
71 min: Newcastle substitutions Joe Willock and Jacob Ramsey replace Harvey Barnes and Anthony Elanga.
71 min That first touch evoked the sensual genius of Roberto Baggio; that’s how good it was.

GOAL! Everton 1-4 Newcastle (Dewsbury-Hall 70)
Forget the scoreline, this is a stunning goal. Tarkowski drives a long, angled pass over the Newcastle defence, with Dewsbury-Hall making a typical late run between two defenders. He’s on the half turn, with barely any space in which to work, as the ball drops over his shoulder – but he cushions it perfectly, his boots a mixture of velvet and velcro, before tapping it past Ramsdale from six yards. I can’t tell you how good that first touch was.
Updated
70 min Everton’s next two matches are Bournemouth away and Nottingham Forest at home.
69 min Newcastle’s next two games are at home to Spurs and Burnley, a chance to jump up the table before a humdinger on 14 December: Sunderland away.
NO GOAL! Everton 0-4 Newcastle Yep, no goal. The law is clear – any handball from the goalscorer, accidental or otherwise, is enough for the goal to be disallowed.
GOAL? Everton 1-4 Newcastle (Barry 64)
Thierno Barry gets his first goal for Everton! It wasn’t a clean finish, but he really needed that.
Hang on, this might be disallowed for a handball before the shot. He headed the ball against his hand, then sliced a finish into the far corner. I think this will be disallowed.
Updated
63 min Okay, that Ramsdale save (55 min) was actually a save by Harvey Barnes, with the ball hitting his arm on the line. It was down by his side and he didn’t move it towards the ball, so Team VAR were happy not to intervene.
62 min “I’ve always wondered what gameplan top-level managers have at half-time when they’ve been thumped good and proper,” writes Peadar de Burca. “I remember playing under-16 juvenile football in Galway and a ‘friendly’ was organised between our team and a visiting group of Spanish youths.
“They were a handsome bunch and their intricate possession play had us bamboozled four goals to zero by halftime. Our coach, munching down a pack of Rothmans, said: ‘Lads, long-ball, Big Jack-style and no farting around in the middle.’ It was 1990 after all.
“Our centre half was pushed up front, scored a hattrick and we romped home, 5-4. The beautiful game died that day, but it was a mighty day.”
I hope you all got to meet the Pope afterwards.
Updated
60 min There’s a bit of Teddy Sheringham about Nick Woltemade, particularly his touch, speed of thought and serenity of movement. He does everything in his own time.
The resulting corner leads to a fourth goal for Newcastle. Woltemade had a shot blocked on the line after an indecently cool dummy, but Everton couldn’t clear the danger. Hall coaxed a fabulous cross to the far post, where Thiaw got above his man to head emphatically past Pickford.
Updated
GOAL! Everton 0-4 Newcastle (Thiaw 58)
Two for Malick Thiaw, four for Newcastle!
Updated
57 min: Good save by Pickford! A fabulous long pass from Hall puts Barnes through on goal in the inside-left channel. He’s too quick for O’Brien but his low shot is turned behind by Pickford.
55 min Ramsdale actually did well to keep that Garner corner going into the net because he had to reach around* Barnes on the line.
* Behave yourself.
53 min: Alcraraz hits the bar! Grealish runs at Livramento to win a corner for Everton. It’s swung in towards goal and patted away nervously by Ramsdale under pressure. Alcaraz runs onto the loose ball, 15 yards from goal, and haddocks a ferocious shot that hits the crossbar and rebounds to safety.
Updated
51 min Everton’s first shot on target comes from Ndiaye, 20 yards out. Ramsdale crouched to make a comfortable save.
51 min Funny old game, etc. If it stays like this Newcastle will jump to 11th, only four points behind Sunderland in fourth place.
50 min Joelinton, eight yards out, has the ball taken off his toe by Keane. It was a lovely move from Newcastle, first from right to left and then back across via Hall’s cross and Elanga’s header down.
48 min A quiet start to the second half. Very quiet. Too darn quiet.
Updated
46 min Newcastle get the second half under way.
Everton substitution Charly Alcaraz replaces Tim Iroegbunam. I’d imagine he’ll play as the No10 and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall will move back into midfield.
“I fear that getting a red card for slapping a team mate may end up being what Idrissa Gueye will be remembered for by the culture at large, but he’s a remarkable player,” says Kári Tulinius. “I don’t think it would be controversial to say that there were several seasons when he was the difference between Everton staying up or being relegated.
“He reads the game like few others, stopping attacks almost before they begin, and helps the team play fluidly. The Blues coped well without him on Monday, but they’ve really missed him today.”
They sure have, and it doesn’t help that his replacement, Iroegbunam, has been well short of his best. He was partially at fault for the second and third goals; I don’t think I mentioned it at the time but the game of pinball that preceded Miley’s goal included Iroegbunam miscontrolling an awkward difficult ball.
Half-time reading
Half time: Everton 0-3 Newcastle
Newcastle remembered to take their travel sickness medication. They lead 3-0 at Hill Dickinson Stadium and have punished some unusually poor defensive work from Everton. Malick Thiaw headed the fastest goal of the season after 55 seconds, Lewis Miley – whose beautiful corner led to that goal – made it two after an error from Jordan Pickford and Nick Woltemade teased a sensual lob over Pickford on the stroke of half-time.
Ramsdale threw the ball out to Livramento, who clipped a routine pass down the right wing. Iroegbunam misjudged the bounce, which allowed Elanga to get behind him and play a square through pass to Woltemade on the edge of the area. Pickford came out and Woltemade – his heart rate still resting – lobbed the ball slowly over him and into the net. Beautifully taken.
Updated
GOAL! Everton 0-3 Newcastle (Woltemade 45)
A delicious finish from Nick Woltemade may have won the match for Newcastle, already.
43 min Newcastle keep the spell in the Everton half for two or three minutes before an errant pass runs through to Pickford.
39 min Everton are starting to have more of the ball without yet penetrating as they did when the score was 1-0.
36 min Does anyone know when the Ashes starts?
Updated
35 min It’s been a game of moodswings, and not only at Guardian Towers. Everton have been flat since conceding the second goal and right now Newcastle are doing almost as they please.
32 min Everton break four on three, only for Barry leave the ball behind after receiving a pass from Dewsbury-Hall. That was a chance.
29 min: Hall hits the bar! Wow, it could be 3-0. The imrpessive Woltemade finds the marauding Hall, whose shot from the edge of the area takes a big deflection and loops onto the top of the crossbar.
The goal is totally against the run of play, not that Newcastle will care. After a bit of a scramble in the afternoon area, Livramento’s wayward shot was kept alive by Burn, who knocked the ball back towards Miley on the edge of the area. His first-time shot bounced straight through Pickford, who saw it late but should still have done better. All he could do was pat the ball between his own legs and into the net.
Updated
GOAL! Everton 0-2 Newcastle (Miley 25)
Lewis Miley has made one and scored one!
23 min “The opening 20 minutes have been a microcosm of all of our performances away from home,” writes Chris Paraskevas. “Fast start, devastatingly effective goal before regressing to bad habits: sitting deep, standing off, being flat-footed.
“Psychologically it must be a difficult hurdle for the players to overcome: you can see Dan Burn is telling the midfield to apply more pressure. Time for the big names to lead by example...”
22 min A few home fans appeal for handball, and a penalty, where Iroegbunam’s cross hits Guimaraes. Nothing in that.
19 min Newcastle started well but right now they’re struggling to deal with both the intensity and class of Everton’s attacking play. Grealish has been particularly influential.
17 min Grealish threads a lovely pass behind Thiaw and into the path of Dewsbury-Hall. He stretches to hit a cross that is turned behind for a corner by the covering Dan Burn.
16 min Garner takes a quick, and quick-witted, free-kick to release Grealish on the left of the area. He hammers a low cross that is well cut out by Woltemade.
Everton are having an excellent spell.
13 min Everton are coming into the game. Garner’s beautiful return pass releases Grealish on the left side of the area; his cutback is met by Dewsbury-Hall, whose shot is blocked. The ball rebounds to Garner, who belts well wide from the edge of the area.
11 min Mykolenko arrows a ball into the box for Tarkowski, still up following a corner. He chests it down to Keane, who waits for the ball to bounce and whacks a shot from the edge of the area that deflects over the bar.
The resulting corner is headed over under pressure by Barry. Very tough chance.
8 min: Chance for Newcastle An early ball in from the left is smartly controlled by Barnes, who then rakes a shot that is blocked by the lunging Keane and deflects safely across goal.
I think Barnes’ original shot was going wide but I wouldn’t put the farm on it.
6 min Thiaw’s goal came after 55 seconds, making it the fastest in the Premier League this season. Phil Foden scored after 59 seconds for Manchester City against Leeds earlier today.
Updated
3 min Livramento plays a one-two in midfield and guides a through pass that is crucially cut out by Tarkowski. Newcastle have made the perkiest of starts to the game.
GOAL! Everton 0-1 Newcastle (Thiaw 1)
A wicked inswinging corner from Lewis Miley is headed in from three yards by Malick Thiaw. It was a good header, steered decisively wide of Pickford, but the delivery from Miley was outstanding.
Updated
19 secs: Pickford denies Elanga! An early chance for newcastle. Woltemade sturns Keane expertly in the centre circle and slides a simple pass that allows Elanga to stretch his legs. He’s too quick for O’Brien and slides a slightly tame low shot that is pushed round the post by Pickford. No matter, because from the corner…
1 min Everton kick off from right to left as we watch. Newcastle are wearing their green change strip due to a clash with Ever- oh.
“G’day Rob,” writes Chris Paraskevas. “Hope you’re well! You might think that I struggled to wake up for this 4.30am kick-off but some exciting wildlife developments mean that there are now four different species of animal that wakes me up each morning before my alarm goes off:
The Amazonian Parrot next door (classic)
The local Australian King Parrots (I’m not kidding: a male and female couple have started loitering around too)
The local magpie squadron
The puppy next door.
“Given I’m operating within a daily parameter of a maximum one hour of peace and quiet, snapping our losing streak away would really help ‘quieten the noise’ from both Eddie Howe’s critics and the local wildlife.”
The players are ready for action and will be happy when they can start running: it looks freezing on Merseyside, and it’s raining as well. Not a night to be wearing short shorts.
Premier League results
Brentford 3-1 Burnley
Manchester City 3-2 Leeds
Sunderland 3-2 Bournemouth
Brian Brobbery scored the winner for high-flying Sunderland, who were 2-0 down after 15 minutes at the Stadium of Light. Manchester City lost a 2-0 lead at home to to Leeds before Phil Foden scored an injury-time euphoria-inducer, and the prolific Igor Thiago added two more goals in Brentford’s win over Burnley.
Eddie Howe says Nick Pope injured his groin during training yesterday, hence his absence today.
Team news: Ramsdale starts for Newcastle
Everton manager David Moyes makes two changes, both enforced, from the win at Old Trafford. Jake O’Brien replaces the injured Seamus Coleman at right-back; Tim Iroegbunam covers for the suspended Idrissa Gueye.
Aaron Ramsdale starts in goal for Newcastle, but Nick Pope hasn’t necessarily been dropped; he’s not in the matchday squad. That’s one of six changes to the XI that started the defeat to Marseille. Lewis Hall, Joelinton, Lewis Miley, Nick Woltemade and Anthony Elanga replace Fabian Schar, Sandro Tonali, Joe Willock, Anthony Gordon and Jacob Murphy.
Everton (4-2-3-1) Pickford; O’Brien, Tarkowski, Keane, Mykolenko; Garner, Iroegbunam; Ndiaye, Dewsbury-Hall, Grealish; Barry.

Preamble
Wotcha. Saturday night, according to Watford legend Elton John, is tickety-boo for fighting. But Everton got those primal urges out of their system at Old Trafford on Monday, so now they can concentrate on the more wholesome task of beating Newcastle at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
If they do, it will continue a quietly impressive start to the season. Everton start this game in the bottom half of the table – but it’s Spandex-tight in there and they’re only five points behind Chelsea, who were second at the start of the day. “That’s what I do – I win,” said David Moyes when he returned to West Ham in 2019. Everton’s outstanding victory at Old Trafford was Moyes’ 282nd in the Premier League; only Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger have won more.
Newcastle, who have finished fourth, seventh and fifth in the last three seasons, are down in 14th and could do with some promethazine hydrochloride. Couldn’t we all. Travel sickness is a recurring problem for Eddie Howe’s team, with their only win in eight attempts coming against Union Saint-Gilloise.
They have two winnable home games – Spurs and Burnley – up next, so this would be a good day to get their Premier League season on the road.
Kick off 5.30pm.
