Newcastle, England - Everton secured a 1-0 victory over Newcastle in the Premier League on Monday, adding to their previous league cup win the previous week. Thierno Barry scored the only goal of the match in the 49th minute, tapping the ball into the net unopposed from just a meter out following a mishap by Newcastle's goalkeeper, Lukáš Horníček.
The St. James Park crowd booed their side following halftime and once more at full-time, following Newcastle's fourth loss in five games across all competitions. The loss came against Everton as well, a 3-1 defeat in the League Cup on Thursday. The Saudi-owned Newcastle team was reduced to 10 men after substitute Jacob Ramsey picked up two yellow cards in just two minutes of stoppage time in the second half.
Everton, who had suffered defeats to Chelsea and Arsenal in their last two league games, moved above Newcastle in the standings, reaching seventh place after nine rounds of matches. This marks a promising start to the season for a club that was put up for sale by its American owners just last month.
