Newcastle 0-1 Everton: Thierno Barry Goal Sinks Magpies, Jacob Ramsey Sent Off at St James' Park

Everton beat Newcastle United 1-0 at St James’ Park on Monday night, with Thierno Barry scoring the only goal early in the second half and Newcastle substitute Jacob Ramsey sent off in stoppage time. It was Everton’s first away league win of the season, and the second time the Toffees have beaten Newcastle in a matter of days.

Sky Sports reported that the home side was booed off at both halftime and full time. Newcastle had also lost 3-1 to Everton on Merseyside in the Carabao Cup fourth round a few days earlier.

Newcastle vs Everton: final score and the goal

Final: Newcastle United 0, Everton 1 (Barry, 49’)

The winner came in the 49th minute. According to Sky Sports, Newcastle were slow to react to a quick free kick from Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, which sent Tyrique George through. George’s shot squirmed under goalkeeper Lukáš Horníček, and Barry tapped the rebound into an empty net. Newcastle’s own match report said the goal was “befitting of a game often lacking in quality.” Sky Sports commentator Andy Hinchcliffe called the defending “truly shocking” and the goalkeeping “terrible.”

A scrappy first half

Neither side put a shot on target before the break, Sky Sports said. Barry missed a big chance around the 24th minute when he swung at the ball and missed it completely. Just before halftime, Harrison Armstrong, unmarked, put a first-time effort wide from Dewsbury-Hall’s pullback.

Newcastle did have spells of pressure. The club’s report noted Harvey Barnes whipped in several dangerous crosses early on. One drifted just wide of Jordan Pickford’s far post. A William Osula cross deflected off James Tarkowski and nearly caught Pickford out, and Joelinton fired a long-range shot narrowly wide.

Elanga hits the post as Newcastle push late

Newcastle’s best chance to equalize fell to Anthony Elanga in the 66th minute, when his effort at the back post hit the woodwork and Everton cleared, Sky Sports reported. Both reports said the home side didn’t register a shot on target until late in the game, through substitute Yoane Wissa. Pickford then stopped a second Wissa effort with his outstretched leg to protect the lead.

At the other end, Horníček made saves from Dewsbury-Hall and a Jarrad Branthwaite header to keep the margin at one.

Jacob Ramsey red card

Newcastle’s night got worse in stoppage time. Ramsey, who came on in the 76th minute, picked up two yellow cards in the space of 86 seconds and was sent off in the 98th minute, according to Sky Sports.

Newcastle - Everton: what it means in the standings

Sky Sports reported that the win moved David Moyes’ Everton up to seventh in the Premier League table, while Newcastle dropped to 13th. Newcastle’s own report said a win would have taken them into the top half. The loss was Newcastle’s second straight home defeat in the league, and Sky Sports said Matthias Jaissle’s side has now lost four of its last five games in all competitions.

For Everton, it was their first league win away from home since they won at St James’ Park in February, according to Sky Sports.

Jack Grealish absent again for Everton

Jack Grealish was not in Everton’s squad. Sky Sports reported that the club listed the 31-year-old, who is on loan from Manchester City, as “not match fit.” He had been left out of the Carabao Cup game against Newcastle for a breach of club discipline after missing training, and he missed the October 24 loss to Arsenal through illness.

Newcastle United lineup

According to the club, Newcastle started Horníček, Lewis Hall, Fabian Schär, Nico González, Joelinton, Osula, Barnes, Elanga, Joe Willock, captain Dan Burn and Amar Dedić. Sean Steur, Ramsey, Jacob Murphy, Wissa and Bazoumana Touré came off the bench.
