AI Summary
Everton claimed a 1-0 win at St James' Park behind a Thierno Barry goal, leaving Newcastle manager Matthias Jaissle facing heavy criticism after a second loss to the Toffees in five days.
Everton secured a 1-0 victory over Newcastle United at St James' Park on Sunday, following a second-half goal from Thierno Barry and a late red card for Jacob Ramsey.
Thierno Barry provided the decisive moment for David Moyes’s side, capitalising on what BBC Sport described as a goalkeeping howler by Lukas Hornicek. The defeat was compounded for the hosts when substitute Jacob Ramsey was sent off late in the match. According to The Guardian, the win came despite the absence of Jack Grealish, who Moyes confirmed was unavailable due to a breach of club discipline.
The result marks Everton's second victory over Newcastle in five days, following their 3-1 win in the Carabao Cup on Thursday. Moyes praised his youthful squad's resilience, telling reporters they are a brilliant group who gave everything they had to secure the result. BBC Sport noted that Barry has undergone a revival at Everton after a nightmare debut season.
At the final whistle, a chorus of boos broke out at St James' Park as home supporters expressed their frustration. Newcastle manager Matthias Jaissle admitted he understood the reaction, describing the result as a big disappointment and accepting full responsibility for the team's form. The Magpies have now lost four of their last six Premier League games and sit in the bottom half of the table with 11 points from nine matches.
The statistics highlight growing issues for Newcastle, who have failed to keep a clean sheet in 14 consecutive home league games, a record for the club. BBC Sport reported that no Premier League team has lost more home matches in 2026 than Newcastle’s seven defeats. Jamie Carragher, speaking on Sky Sports, expressed concern for the club’s direction under their young manager, describing the current home performances as flat and boring.
Background
Matthias Jaissle was appointed as Newcastle manager in the summer on a four-year contract, following the departure of Eddie Howe. His tenure began during a period of transition that included the loss of several high-profile players.
