Newcastle United clashed heads with Everton at Goodison Park earlier tonight as they hoped to secure a win on the road in the Premier League. The Magpies were solid in the first half and managed to get to the half-time break with a goalless scoreline.
Eddie Howe’s men ended up conceding the opening goal in the 79th minute when Dwight McNeil found the back of the net. Abdoulaye Doucoure doubled Everton’s advantage in the 86th minute before Beto scored again for the home side in injury time. The match finished with Newcastle suffering a dismal 3-0 loss away from home.
Let’s take a look at how each Newcastle United player fared during the clash against the Toffees.
