Everton showcased yet another impressive team performance, securing a 3-0 victory against Newcastle United at Goodison Park.
Dwight McNeil’s skillful left foot, described as a “paintbrush,” opened the scoring 11 minutes from the end, setting the stage for Everton’s triumph. Abdoulaye Doucouré added a second goal seven minutes later, marking his fifth strike of the campaign.
In stoppage time, substitute Beto sealed the win with a third goal.
This victory propelled Everton past Luton Town, lifting them out of the relegation zone. Without the contested 10-point deduction, the win would have seen Sean Dyche’s side climb into the top half of the Premier League table. The Club has officially appealed the deduction.
Manager Sean Dyche made strategic changes, with Seamus Coleman returning from injury and Dominic Calvert-Lewin rejoining the lineup. Despite missing James Garner due to illness and placing Beto on the bench, Everton’s altered lineup showcased a successful shift in shape and strategy.
