Everton 2-0 Newcastle: Carabao Cup | Second half underway

The second half of the Carabao Cup Fourth Round match between Everton and Newcastle United kicked off at Hill Dickinson Stadium, with Everton taking control and leading 2-0 at halftime. The home team had the better chances so far, but it was the Blues who managed to score two well-taken goals.

Early in the second half, Norwich made a poor giveaway, leading to an opportunity for Everton which was narrowly missed. Newcastle then pinned Everton back in their own half, causing the visitors to run at the Blues. The Magpies had several chances, including a shot from outside the box that narrowly missed the post.

Everton threw the ball deep down the right, and Joelinton was fouled by Barry, but the referee waved away the protests from Newcastle. Newcastle attempted to play out the back, and Hackney nearly scored but the Newcastle player faked an easy tackle. Tarkowski made a perfect center-half tackle on Osula, ending the threat.

The referee made strong calls against Newcastle, denying them a penalty despite the Toon players diving on the ground. Newcastle had a chance to score from a corner, but their effort was blocked. The score remained 2-0 in favor of Everton as the halftime whistle blew.
