Newcastle United 0-1 Everton – Everton claim a narrow win at St James' Park.

The Premier League clash between Newcastle United and Everton unfolded on 2 November 2026 under the lights of St James' Park, Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Both sides entered the encounter looking to add three points, but the match was decided by a single goal and a late dismissal.

How it unfolded

The first half remained tightly contested until the 32nd minute when Dan Burn of Newcastle United received a yellow card for a bad foul, marking the opening booking of the game.

The deadlock was broken shortly after the interval. In the 49th minute, Everton’s Thierno Barry capitalised on a set-piece situation, firing a right-footed shot from very close range into the centre of the net. The goal was confirmed after a VAR review, giving the visitors a 1-0 lead.

Just three minutes later, in the 52nd minute, Everton’s Tyrique George was shown a yellow card, adding to the disciplinary tally.

The final stages of the match saw a flurry of cautions. In stoppage time, Jacob Ramsey of Newcastle United was booked in the 90'+6 minute for a bad foul. Two minutes later, the same foul earned him a second yellow, resulting in a sending-off in the 90'+8 minute and leaving Newcastle to finish the match with ten men.

The referee continued to issue cautions in the dying moments: Brennan Johnson of Everton received a yellow card in the 90'+9 minute, followed immediately by another booking for Newcastle United’s Fabian Schär in the same minute.
