Frank Lampard dismissed Everton's relegation worries as "just words" as the Blues went down 3-1 to a delighted Eddie Howe's Newcastle side.
The England full back Kieran Trippier curled home the third goal for Howe’s side in the 80th minute as they came from behind to climb out of the bottom three.
They are unbeaten in four games in the league and backed up a win at Leeds with this vital three points, with Ryan Fraser netting in the 56th minute to give them the lead after Jamaal Lascelles and Mason Holgate had swapped own goals.
