Everton wasted no time reclaiming their advantage. Just two minutes later, in the 34th minute, Beto fired home from close range. His clinical finish restored the Toffees’ one-goal cushion before halftime, stunning the home support.

The first half concluded with Everton leading 2-1. Newcastle needed to convert their possession dominance into more clear-cut chances. Everton aimed to maintain their defensive resilience and exploit counter-attacking opportunities.

The joy for Newcastle was short-lived. Everton delivered a stunning blow moments later. Substitute Thierno Barry capitalized on a Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall pass in the 83rd minute, driving home the winning goal. This dramatic twist silenced the home crowd.

The closing minutes were intense, featuring several yellow cards as tempers flared. Deep into injury time, both Thierno Barry and Lewis Hall received bookings. Everton held firm against a desperate Newcastle surge, seeing out the victory.
