Thierno Barry scored the game's only goal as Everton secured a 1-0 victory against Newcastle United at St James' Park, handing the Magpies their fourth defeat in five matches across all competitions.
David Moyes' Everton side capitalized on defensive lapses when Barry converted from close range on the rebound following an initial shot. The visitors controlled large portions of the rainy Monday fixture, with goalkeeper Jordan Pickford making crucial stops—including a combined post-and-save denial against Anthony Elanga in the 66th minute and a late block against Yoane Wissa—to preserve the clean sheet.
Newcastle's frustrations mounted as they struggled to find an attacking structure, leading to jeers from home supporters at both half-time and full-time. The hosts' evening worsened late in the match when midfielder Jacob Ramsey received two quick yellow cards, resulting in a dismissal that rules him out of their upcoming fixture.
The result lifts Everton up to seventh place in the Premier League table following consecutive wins, while Newcastle sits down in 13th.
