Goals from Jarrad Branthwaite, Beto and Thierno Barry secured Everton all three points on the road against Newcastle United.
David Moyes must love watching his side play away from the Hill Dickinson Stadium, with yet another three points added to their tally.
Despite seeing Branthwaite’s opener levelled by Jacob Ramsey, Everton hit back almost instantly through Beto.
It was a real case of Deja Vu for the visitors as they then did exactly the same to win the game with Barry sealing the win.

Jordan Pickford – 8
Stood virtually no chance with saving Ramsey’s goal that deflected off Branthwaite, but a made a huge save right at the end. He just loves taking three points at St James’ Park.

Jake O’Brien – 7
Returning to the starting XI following his suspension and Jake O’Brien enjoyed his afternoon up against Joelinton.
James Tarkowski – 7
A solid showing alongside Branthwaite with Michael Keane dropping out of the XI after the defeat to Manchester United on Monday evening.
Jarrad Branthwaite – 9
What a header from Branthwaite to open the scoring. Ahead of the game, Branthwaite said he wanted to return to centre-back after a stint out on the left.
He certainly repaid Moyes for his trust in what was a fine showing from the 23-year-old.
Vitalii Mykolenko – 7
Returning back to the starting XI and it was a solid display from the Ukraine international.
Idrissa Gana Gueye – 8
Looked much more like his old self. Everton were concerned over Idrissa Gana Gueye’s fitness on the back of his return from AFCON.
No concerns were there on Tyneside in a solid showing from the midfielder.
James Garner – 8
James Garner is offering Moyes everything he could ask for from a midfielder. A brilliant corner for Branthwaite and an all-round solid showing from the 25-year-old.
Dwight McNeil – 8
The surprise addition to the starting XI, but credit where credit is due as McNeil took his opportunity on the right-wing.
Played a role in both goals and did not let his side down on his first appearance since his failed winter exit.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall – 8
Lacked the composure for most of the game, but he managed to pick out the match-winner with a brilliant cross.
Iliman Ndiaye – 8
Looked lively throughout the game and played a big role in the winning goal. Turned on the skill to see out the final minutes.
Beto – 8
In place of Barry, Beto offered the physical presence that Moyes would have been demanding ahead of the game.
Caused Newcastle a lot of problems throughout the game and his hunger to get on the end of McNeil’s parried shot spoke volumes.
Should have scored another in the second half, though.
Substitutions
Thierno Barry – 8
It may have been scrappy, but he Barry will have no issues with taking that as his sixth goal of the season.
Harrison Armstrong – N/A
Michael Keane – N/A
