It was an unforgettable night for Newcastle United and their supporters as the Magpies produced a dominant performance to beat Everton 3-1 at St. James’ Park and finally climb out of the relegation zone for the first time since October.
It was a night of significance, as it not only marked the club’s first game back since the Premier League ’s enforced winter break, but it was also the first time Eddie Howe ’s side would play following the end of the January transfer window.
The north east club had already signed Kieran Trippier and Chris Wood, before Bruno Guimaraes, Dan Burn and Matt Targett were brought in over the final two days, as the club bolstered their options.
