Everton have done it again! On Saturday, February 28, 2026, the Toffees recorded their second successive away win at Newcastle in a breathless five-goal thriller.
In a game where Newcastle equalized twice, it was Everton’s super-sub Thierno Barry who had the final word, scoring just 60 seconds after the Magpies thought they had snatched a point.

Key Takeaways: The Pickford Wall
The Return of the King: Jordan Pickford was the pantomime villain turned hero yet again. His "save of the season" contender in the 94th minute—denying Sandro Tonali—is the only reason Everton left with all three points.
Moyes' Tactical Masterclass: Bringing on Thierno Barry for the goal-scorer Beto in the 74th minute proved inspired. Barry’s winner came just seconds after Newcastle’s equalizer had sent the home crowd into a frenzy.
Newcastle’s Home Slump: This is now three consecutive home defeats for Eddie Howe’s side. Despite dominating 66% of the possession, the Magpies were punished for "inexplicable" defensive lapses immediately after scoring.
Injury Crisis: Newcastle’s struggle was evident as they operated without Bruno Guimarães and Sven Botman, while Everton welcomed back Jake O’Brien to stabilize the backline.
The Verdict: While Eddie Howe will be furious with his side's "unacceptable" defensive focus, David Moyes has turned Everton into one of the most resilient away teams in the league.
