Barry gives Everton 1-0 win at Newcastle as Ramsey sees red
Thierno Barry scored as Everton beat Newcastle United 1-0 at St James' Park on Monday, November 2. VAVEL's match coverage confirmed the result, with the hosts finishing the Premier League encounter with 10 players.
Watch the highlights:
The decisive attack came early in the second half. Tyrique George's shot reached Lukas Hornicek, but the ball broke to Barry, who finished from close range. VAVEL reported that an offside check followed before the goal was allowed to stand.
Neither side had scored before the interval. Newcastle and Everton each had spells of pressure, but the opening half ended without a breakthrough. Barry's finish after the restart proved sufficient to separate the teams at full-time.
Jacob Ramsey was sent off after collecting two yellow cards in stoppage time. Newcastle could not find an equaliser, leaving Everton with the three points. The Guardian reported that home supporters expressed their displeasure after the match, adding to the pressure on Matthias Jaissle.
The result followed Everton's 3-1 victory over Newcastle in the Carabao Cup fourth round on Thursday. Newcastle's official account of that tie recorded first-half goals from James Garner and Hayden Hackney, followed by another from Barry after the break. Dan Burn's late header reduced the deficit but could not prevent elimination. Jordan Pickford had earlier denied Harvey Barnes and Joe Willock as Newcastle sought the opening goal. That cup meeting took place at Hill Dickinson Stadium; Monday's league fixture brought the same outcome for Newcastle despite the change of venue.
For Everton, the league win followed consecutive 2-0 defeats against Chelsea and Arsenal. Their earlier away results in this Premier League campaign had been draws at Bournemouth, Tottenham and Hull before the loss at Arsenal, making Monday their first away league victory of the season. The sequence also distinguished the two recent successes against Newcastle: Thursday secured progress in a knockout competition, while this result ended a run of two league matches without a point or a goal.
