Everton beat Newcastle United 1-0 at St James’ Park on Monday night, 2 November, in a result that was the top Google Trends search in Pakistan on 3 November — and it deepened Newcastle’s crisis. Thierno Barry scored the only goal early in the second half AFP reported via Malay Mail on 3 November.

Highlights

  • Result: Newcastle United 0-1 Everton, Premier League Matchday 9, St James’ Park, Monday 2 November 2026.
  • Goal: Thierno Barry, 49th minute — his eighth goal of the season, and his fourth in his last six matches.
  • Sent off: Newcastle’s Jacob Ramsey in the final seconds, for a crude foul on Harrison Armstrong.
  • Table: Everton climb to seventh; Newcastle fall to 13th.
  • Double blow: It was Everton’s second win over Newcastle in five days, after their 3-1 League Cup fourth-round victory on Thursday.

How the goal happened

The decisive moment came in the 49th minute. Newcastle were not alive to a quick free-kick, Tyrique George was played in behind, and his shot squirmed underneath goalkeeper Lukas Hornicek before Barry pounced to tap in from a couple of yards out TNT Sports reported in its live match coverage on 2 November. Sky Sports’ live commentary records the same scoreline and timing: Everton 1, Barry 49′, with Ramsey sent off in the 98th minute.

Ramsey’s late red card completed a miserable night

Newcastle’s night ended as it had gone: badly. Substitute Jacob Ramsey was sent off in the final seconds for a crude foul on Harrison Armstrong AFP reported, with TNT Sports adding that Ramsey was dismissed 84 seconds after receiving his first yellow card in stoppage time, catching Armstrong above the ankle. There was no route back at that point, and the home side finished with ten men.

For Newcastle manager Matthias Jaissle, the pressure is now explicit in the reporting. AFP said Jaissle desperately needs a win at fellow strugglers Fulham on Saturday to ease the mounting scrutiny, and noted it is now four defeats in Newcastle’s last five games according to TNT Sports’ match report. It is a sharp contrast with the top of the table, where Arsenal’s 1-0 win at Anfield moved them three points clear — Newcastle, 13th, are looking the other way.

Everton’s week, and what it says about the table

Everton’s rise is the other half of the story. Barry’s eighth goal of the season gave Everton their second win against Newcastle in five days, following the 3-1 League Cup victory on Thursday AFP reported, and lifted David Moyes’ side to seventh, two points off Liverpool TNT Sports reported. In a Premier League season that has already produced a Halloween weekend meltdown for both Manchester clubs, a newly reliable away win at St James’ Park is exactly the kind of result that separates the European places from the middle of the table.

Newcastle’s problem is not one bad night. Four defeats in five, a cup exit to the same opponent, a red card in stoppage time and a manager openly described as under pressure add up to a run that has to break at Fulham on Saturday — because the reporting around Jaissle suggests patience is already thin.
