Newcastle 0-1 Everton Premier: Barry seals away win
Thierno Barry’s second-half goal gave Everton a 1-0 Premier League win at Newcastle, while Jacob Ramsey was sent off in stoppage time. The defeat left…
Newcastle 0-1 Everton Premier ended with a first away league win of the season for Everton and another home defeat for Newcastle at St James' Park. Thierno Barry scored the only goal, and substitute Jacob Ramsey was sent off in stoppage time after two bookings in 86 seconds.
The result moved David Moyes’ Everton side up to seventh in the Premier League table, while Newcastle fell to 13th. Home fans booed their team at half-time and again at full-time after a performance that followed a 3-1 Carabao Cup defeat by Everton four days earlier.
How did Barry give Everton the lead?
Barry scored in the 49th minute, shortly after the restart. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall took a quick free-kick to release Tyrique George, whose low shot slipped under goalkeeper Lukas Hornicek. Barry followed up and tapped the loose ball into an empty net.
Newcastle’s response came too late. Anthony Elanga hit the post in the 66th minute, while substitute Yoane Wissa tested Jordan Pickford in the closing stages. Sky Sports’ account said Wissa forced a good save five minutes after registering Newcastle’s first shot on target in the 85th minute.
Everton had threatened before the break, with Barry and Harrison Armstrong wasting first-half chances. Newcastle also had opportunities, but the hosts struggled to turn possession into efforts that tested Pickford.
Ramsey’s late dismissal deepens Newcastle’s frustration
Ramsey’s red card came in the 98th minute. The Newcastle substitute received two yellow cards in quick succession, leaving the home side with 10 players as Everton held on to their lead.
Newcastle manager Matthias Jaissle said he understood the reaction from the stands. “After a performance like that, I can understand that. That's a reality, and I am responsible for that,” he said.
Jaissle also questioned why his players had failed to reproduce their midweek performance. He said the team had looked committed during the week, but could not carry that approach onto the pitch. “If you can't deliver when it counts, you don't deserve to win,” he said.
The manager pointed to Newcastle’s work in possession as an area needing improvement. “We were not brave enough in possession. Too many long balls.”
The loss left Newcastle with four defeats in their last five games in all competitions, while the boos underlined the immediate strain of a second straight home loss. For Everton, Barry’s finish settled a tense contest and secured three points on the road.
Everton’s win came without Jack Grealish, who was again unavailable, while Newcastle were unable to find an equaliser despite Elanga’s shot against the post and Wissa’s late attempts.
Barry’s goal in the 49th minute remained the difference.
