Everton beat Newcastle 1-0 to pile pressure on Jaissle

Everton secured a 1-0 Premier League victory against Newcastle at St James’ Park on Monday, marking their second win over the team in four days following a 3-1 English League Cup victory last Thursday. Thierno Barry scored the decisive goal in the 49th minute by tapping the ball into an unguarded net from approximately one meter out. According to Yahoo Sports, the goal occurred after Newcastle goalkeeper Lukáš Horníček allowed a shot from Tyrique George to squirm under his body.

The loss marks Newcastle's fourth defeat in its last five games across all competitions. The home side finished the match with 10 men after substitute Jacob Ramsey received two yellow cards in two minutes during second-half stoppage time. Punch Nigeria noted that the result increases pressure on Newcastle manager Matthias Jaissle.

With the win, Everton moved up to seventh place in the standings after nine rounds. Yahoo Sports reported that this follows two recent league losses to Chelsea and Arsenal, and comes as the club's American owners put the team up for sale last month.
