Everton beat Newcastle 3-1 to reach League Cup quarter-finals

Everton progressed to the League Cup quarter-finals after defeating Newcastle United 3-1 at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Thursday. The match marked the Toffees' first win in three games, ending their winless run. Goals from James Garner, Hayden Hackney, and Thierno Barry secured the victory for Everton, who will face fourth-tier side Fleetwood in the next round.

The match was notable as it was the first time Everton had won a League Cup tie since 1977 and 1984. The match against Newcastle was also significant as it was the first time a Premier League champion had been eliminated by a fourth-tier team in League Cup history. Newcastle's comeback attempt was thwarted by Barry's late goal, leaving the visitors with a heavy defeat.
