Everton finally claimed their first away win of the season with a hard-fought victory over Newcastle United on Monday night. The Blues were by far the better team at St James’ Park and deservedly claimed all three points when Thierno Barry scored from a couple of yards out four minutes into the second half.
The goal was Barry’s eighth of the season and came after some fine play from Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, who was the best player on the pitch. Jordan Pickford was also called into action in the closing stages before Newcastle finished the game with 10 men after Jacob Ramsey was sent off for two yellow cards.
As ever, the ECHO was in attendance at St James’ Park and below are some moments you may have missed before, during and after the game.

David Moyes takes matters back into his own hands
David Moyes was, understandably, all smiles after his side beat Newcastle United for the second time in four days, but with just under 20 minutes remaining, the Scot was anything but happy.
Thierno Barry went down inside the Newcastle box following a challenge from Fabian Schar, which on another night could have been a penalty.

However, as play continued with the forward still down, Everton eventually kicked the ball out to enable Barry to get treatment from the club’s medical staff.
But what happened next left Moyes fuming as Anthony Elanga took a quick throw-in to Joelinton, who looked to charge up the pitch.
Moyes, though, was having none of it and stepped onto the pitch while kicking off at fourth official Robert Madley.
Referee John Brooks did stop the game to enable Everton’s medical staff to treat Barry before he booked Moyes for leaving his technical area, but Newcastle did the sporting thing and gave the ball back to the Blues to get the game back underway.

James Tarkowski sends reminder to Joelinton
It has not been a great few days for Joelinton. First, he was thrown to the floor by James Tarkowski during his side’s 3-1 defeat to the Blues on Thursday night.
Then, with 15 minutes of normal time remaining on Monday night, the Brazilian was hooked by Matthias Jaissle with his side chasing an equaliser.
However, midway through the first half, Tarkowski couldn’t help but remind the midfielder of his reaction when he was flung to the floor on Thursday night.
Half-time reaction said it all
Sticking with Tarkowski, the Everton centre-back, like everyone else at St James’ Park, couldn’t quite believe that his side were not ahead at the break.
With literally the last kick of the first half, Harrison Armstrong was presented with the opportunity to fire his side ahead.
But he got it all wrong and fired well over, and with that the first half was over, but as Tarkowski made his way down the tunnel he was shaking his head in disbelief.

Alan Shearer gets it all wrong
Alan Shearer was incredibly complimentary of Everton following their victory over Newcastle.
Taking to X, he wrote: “Well done Everton. Much better than Newcastle. Nothing at all from the Toon. Very very poor.”
However, he got it all wrong with his pre-game prediction, as he told Betfair: “Newcastle’s record during Monday evenings is pretty dire, isn’t it?
“But they are at home and they did beat Crystal Palace last week. I’m going to go home win just. I think it’ll be a really, really tight game but I’m going to go for a home win and hopefully they can bounce back and take their revenge after the loss in the cup to Everton on Thursday evening.”
Everton supporters leave their mark
As we have come to expect, Everton supporters were loud and proud during their side’s win on Monday night.
And, as ever, Spirit of the Blues, along with a few more chants, were belted out by Blues supporters up in the gods at St James’ Park.
But as members of the media waited for players from each club in the mixed zone after the game, one member of the press was caught miming the tune of Spirit of the Blues.
