Newcastle United have moved out of the relegation zone following a spirited 3-1 win against Everton at St James' Park.
Everton took the lead when Jamaal Lascelles put through his own net in the 35th minute, but Newcastle immediately equalised when Mason Holgate did likewise at the other end.
Ryan Fraser then put Newcastle in front before the hour mark from close range before Kieran Trippier sealed all three points with a stunning free-kick in the 80th minute.
Here are five things we learned from the game.

Newcastle show the mentality they need to stay up
You had to go back to May for the last time Newcastle won back-to-back league games in the Premier League. To put that wait into perspective, Mike Ashley was still the club's owner at the time; Steve Bruce was in the dugout; Andy Carroll was sitting on the bench; and Joe Willock was still, technically, an Arsenal player.
However, if Newcastle are to stay up this season, the Magpies are simply going to have to build on victories and good performances, such as the win at Leeds last time out.
Ryan Fraser admitted there was 'no point winning the game and not beating Everton' while Allan Saint-Maximin said 'we just have to stay to this level and even play much better to try to do everything to win the next game against Everton'.
It was far from an ideal start, but Newcastle responded brilliantly to going behind in the 36th minute after Jamaal Lascelles put the ball through his own net.
Not only did Newcastle equalise just a minute later, after Mason Holgate scored an own goal of his own, but the Magpies then immediately pushed for a second goal as they looked to impose themselves on Everton rather than relying on the break.
Ryan Fraser eventually popped up to score his first league goal for Newcastle in the 56th minute after the Scotland international cleverly hooked Allan Saint-Maximin's cross into the net from close range.
Rather than sitting on that goal, Newcastle went in search of a third and Kieran Trippier scored a stunning free-kick from 25 yards late on to seal the victory.

Newcastle's owners may have already made their most important signing
There was, naturally, a lot written about Bruno Guimaraes ahead of this game and whether Eddie Howe would throw the new signing in from the start or not.
Guimaraes did end up getting the chance to make his debut in the closing stages, which was a special moment for the Brazil international after Newcastle fans repeatedly chanted his name throughout the game.
However, while Guimaraes will need time to adjust to life in the Premier League, Kieran Trippier has certainly hit the ground running following his move from Atletico Madrid.
The 31-year-old put in another impressive display in a black and white shirt. As well as scoring a brilliant free-kick, the right-back caused Everton real problems with his deliveries and was constantly guiding his team-mates through the game with some encouraging words.
Not many new signings have their own chant just a month into their Newcastle careers, but the Gallowgate serenaded the England international with a rendition of 'Kieran Trippier, over the wall' in Jordan Pickford's direction after his goal as Amanda Staveley, Mehrdad Ghodoussi and Jamie Reuben all watched on.
The only downside on a memorable night for Trippier was that he had to come off with what looked like a muscle injury at the death.
Targett epitomises improved defensive display
Frank Lampard admitted it was 'challenging' to prepare for the game because the Everton boss did not know how many of Newcastle's new signings would feature or, indeed, what shape they would line up in.
Eddie Howe ultimately decided to only hand a debut to Matt Targett, who lined up from the start alongside Kieran Trippier and Chris Wood, as Dan Burn and Bruno Guimaraes sat on the bench.
Burn had an infected toenail ahead of this game while Guimaraes had only trained with his team-mates for the first time on Friday so, perhaps, it was not a huge shock that the pair did not start.
Instead, Howe kept faith with those players who won at Leeds last time out as the Newcastle head coach opted to make just one enforced change after Paul Dummett hobbled off at Elland Road.
It was easy to see why Howe wanted to bring in a recognised left-back in Targett, who certainly had his hands full on his debut as Everton directed so many of their attacks down the right in an effort to exploit the space Saint-Maximin left behind in the first half.
However, Targett acquitted himself well, as both Anthony Gordon and Seamus Coleman ran at him, and the full-back also bombed forward to help Newcastle build attacks down the left-hand side.
Although Targett was unfortunate that his clearance was inadvertently knocked into his own net by Lascelles in the 35th minute, the left-back's overall performance epitomised a much-improved defensive showing from Newcastle,
More than just three points for Newcastle
There were still 16 games left to play but this felt like a huge moment in Newcastle's season as players and staff were cheered on a lap of appreciation at full-time.
Just like against Brentford, Norwich and Watford, you could feel the sense of anticipation in the city before a ball was even kicked on Tuesday night but, crucially, this time, Newcastle got the job done and claimed all three points.
Newcastle have not only moved out of the relegation zone for the first time since October, which is a huge psychological boost in itself, but the Magpies have, also, dragged Everton into the dogfight.
Just as they built on that win at Leeds against Everton, Newcastle now have to do so once again when high-flying Aston Villa come to St James' on Sunday.
Special scenes on Eddie Howe's finest night
By full-time, the majority of Newcastle supporters had stayed behind to salute players and staff as Allan Saint-Maximin sang along and 'Hey Jude' blasted out of the public address system.
It was Eddie Howe's finest night as Newcastle head coach and, clearly, the new signings have had the desired effect in building competition across the pitch.
Indeed, ahead of this game, Jonjo Shelvey admitted the new arrivals created 'that bit of uncertainty in terms of you don't know where you're going to be playing', which has long been needed.
It was not a coincidence, then that Joe Willock delivered a brilliant display or that Jamaal Lascelles, aside from the own goal, was a colossus as the game wore on.
This was the first time Newcastle had come from behind to win a game under Howe and, also, the first time the Magpies had scored more than one goal since his opening game in charge.
