The brief

A crucial mistake by Newcastle United goalkeeper Lukas Hornicek allowed Everton to secure their first Premier League away win since February.

The story

Everton claimed their first Premier League away victory since February by defeating Newcastle United, moving into seventh place in the league standings. The decisive moment came when a routine attempt from Tyrique George slipped under the body of Newcastle goalkeeper Lukas Hornicek, presenting Thierno Barry with the opening goal.

The defeat marked Newcastle United's fourth loss in their last six top-flight matches. Following the match, player ratings highlighted a difficult outing for several members of the squad, while Everton managed to hold off their hosts despite Newcastle applying pressure at various points during the fixture.

Among individual performances, Newcastle captain Dan Burn received a booking for a foul on Barry near the edge of the penalty area, though the resulting set-piece yielded no score. Midfielder Joelinton came close to finding the net with a clever shot on the turn that was blocked by James Tarkowski, as well as another long-range effort.

A closer look

Anthony Elanga also threatened an equalizer for the home side, kneeing the ball against the goalpost before Everton defenders cleared the danger. Meanwhile, Lewis Hall delivered a steady performance for Newcastle, and teammate Joe Willock was substituted after falling short of his top form.

The match concluded with Newcastle playing with 10 men following a late red card shown to Ramsey. The result leaves Newcastle facing an alarming run of form as Everton successfully defended their lead until the final whistle.
