Everton remain firmly in the bottom three after slipping to a 4-1 defeat against Newcastle United.
Goals from Callum Wilson (2), Joelinton and Jacob Murphy settled the scores at Goodison Park as the Blues passed up another huge opportunity to move away from danger. Indeed, it was a heavy reverse that means they are now two points from safety with five matches to play.
An intense start from Everton gave them something to build on with Idrissa Gueye and former Burnley man Dwight McNeil taking aim in the opening stages. However, they were dealt a hammer blow after 28 minutes when England striker Wilson reacted quickest to prod home the opener.
