Thierno Barry's goal takes Everton up to seventh place
Thierno Barry's second-half strike helped Everton return to winning ways in the Premier League with a 1-0 victory over Newcastle at St James’ Park.
Following a first half lacking in clear-cut opportunities, the Toffees took the lead shortly after the restart when Barry stabbed home his fourth league goal of the campaign.
A frustrating night soured further for the Magpies as they finished the game with 10 men when substitute Jacob Ramsey was shown two yellow cards in quick succession at the death.
Everton ended a three-game winless run in the Premier League, while Newcastle slip to 13th in the table.
Monday’s match took place just four days after Everton’s 3-1 win over Newcastle in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup and both sides made two changes to their starting XI as Anthony Elanga and Joelinton came in for the Magpies, while Jarrad Branthwaite and Harrison Armstrong lined up for the visitors.
