"Something different every time. That's what Eddie Howe and Newcastle must be thinking after falling asleep after a pair of equalizers and getting a poor, poor day out of goalkeeper Nick Pope in a rare home loss to a team that struggles to find goals. The Magpies fell asleep after both of their markers and Everton punished them."
"Valentino Livramento's injury has meant that Howe has pretty much only turned to aging Kieran Trippier at right back and the veteran is running out of gas. Pope had a howler on Everton's second goal and couldn't intervene on the Toffees other two goals. The Magpies are now in serious danger of returning to Europe without mighty runs in either the FA Cup or Champions League."
Everton secured a 3-2 victory over Newcastle at St. James' Park, with Jarrad Branthwaite opening the scoring in the first half. Newcastle equalized through Jacob Ramsey in the 32nd minute, but Beto responded immediately in the 34th minute. In the second half, Jacob Murphy leveled the match in the 82nd minute, only for Thierno Barry to restore Everton's lead in the 83rd minute. The win moves Everton to eighth place with 30 points, while Newcastle remains in 12th with 36 points. Newcastle's defensive lapses and goalkeeper Nick Pope's poor performance contributed to the loss, raising concerns about their European qualification prospects.
