Barry’s goal lifts Everton to seventh with win at Newcastle

Everton beat Newcastle United 1-0 at St James’ Park on November 2, ending a three-game winless run in the Premier League and moving up to seventh. Thierno Barry scored early in the second half, and Newcastle substitute Jacob Ramsey was sent off late after receiving two yellow cards. Barry struck in the 49th minute, reacting quickest after goalkeeper Lukas Hornicek failed to hold Tyrique George’s low shot. The goal, his fourth in the league this season, stood after a video assistant referee review for two possible offside offences. Everton pressed for a second, with Hornicek making saves from Jarrad Branthwaite, Jake O’Brien and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. Newcastle came close to equalising when Anthony Elanga reached Harvey Barnes’ cross, but his effort hit the post and spun along the goal line before James Tarkowski cleared it. Jordan Pickford kept Everton ahead with a late save from Yoane Wissa. Ramsey, introduced as a substitute, was dismissed in stoppage time after a challenge on Harrison Armstrong earned him a second booking. Newcastle remained 13th after the defeat. The result followed Everton’s 3-1 win over Newcastle in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup four days earlier....
