Dyche optimistic on Everton survival chances ahead of Newcastle

Newcastle United moved in sight of Champions League qualification with a 4-1 win at Everton that kept the home team in the Premier League’s relegation zone.

Callum Wilson, selected up front ahead of Alexander Isak, scored goals either side of a header from Joelinton.

Isak came on as a second-half substitute and produced the highlight of the game with a mazy dribble down the left wing before he chipped the ball across for fellow replacement Jacob Murphy to tap home at the far post.

Everton thought it was back in the game at Goodison Park after an 80th-minute header from Dwight McNeil at a corner, which made it 3-1. Murphy, though, scored a minute later.

Newcastle stayed in third place and is eight points clear of Aston Villa in fifth, having played one game less. Newcastle has six matches to play. Everton is in next-to-last place, two points adrift of safety, and has a huge game at third-from-bottom Leicester coming up on Monday.

A heavy touch gets away from Calvert-Lewin and he slips as he hits a shot on goal. It allows Newcastle to break quickly on the counter, with Guimaraes spreading it out to Almiron, but his low cross is deflected to Pickford by Tarkowski.

Two great tackles from Onana and Tarkowski stop Newcastle from getting over the halfway line, and it opens up space for Keane to make a driving run through the middle. He tries to square it to Gueye, but he's caught on his heels.

Newcastle are starting to find their rhythm here, and they're doing a better job of keeping possession. They patiently work it out from the back, only for Keane to stop Almiron in his tracks on the edge of the box.

Newcastle have won just one of their last 10 Premier League away games against Everton (D3 L6), a 2-0 victory in January 2021.

Longstaff slides in late on Gueye just to the left of the D, and Everton have a free-kick in a good position. It's Gueye that takes it, curling it over the wall, but there isn't enough dip to take it under the bar.

Newcastle can't make anything of their corners, and Everton are on the attack once more. It's spread out to McNeil on the left and he threads it forward for Mykolenko, but his cross is blocked by Trippier.

SAVE! Everton's high press is causing Newcastle all sorts of problems here as they win it back just outside the box once more. McNeil lays it off to Gueye, who takes on the shot from just outside the D, but it's straight into Pope's gloves.
