Newcastle Stun Everton with Dominant 4-1 Victory at Goodison

Newcastle United delivered a commanding 4-1 victory over Everton at Hill Dickinson Stadium, moving the 14th-placed visitors closer to 12th-placed Everton in the Premier League table.

Malick Thiaw opened the scoring in spectacular fashion after just one minute, heading home from very close range following Lewis Miley's cross from a corner. Newcastle doubled their advantage in the 25th minute when Lewis Miley fired a left-footed shot from the centre of the box into the centre of the goal, assisted by Dan Burn. The visitors extended their lead to 3-0 on the stroke of half-time as Nick Woltemade converted a right-footed effort from the centre of the box to the bottom left corner, with Anthony Elanga providing the assist.

Newcastle continued their dominance in the second half when Thiaw completed his brace in the 58th minute, heading home from very close range to the bottom left corner after Lewis Hall delivered a cross following another corner. Everton finally found the net in the 69th minute through Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, who slotted home a left-footed shot from very close range to the bottom right corner with James Tarkowski's assistance.

Newcastle controlled 51.2% of possession and registered eight shots on target compared to Everton's two. The visitors' clinical finishing proved decisive, converting four of their 13 total attempts while Everton managed just 10 shots despite their home advantage.

The match flow heavily favored Newcastle from the opening whistle, with their early goal setting the tone for a dominant first-half display. Everton showed more urgency after the break, with Charly Alcaraz hitting the crossbar in the 53rd minute, but Newcastle's fourth goal effectively ended any hopes of a comeback.

Everton will next host AFC Bournemouth on December 2, while Newcastle United travel to face Tottenham Hotspur on December 2.
