The Last Word on Newcastle Fans TV

Substitute Thierno Barry scored a dramatic late winner as Everton stunned Newcastle United in the Premier League to maintain their push for a European place.

Everton manager David Moyes insisted beforehand that his side were not about to give up on their dream of qualifying for the Europa League or the Europa Conference League, but the Scot acknowledged they needed to "win some really big games on the journey".

This trip to St James' Park certainly fitted the bill and Everton rose to the occasion - just as they have so many times on the road this season.

Even when it looked like Everton might have to settle for a share of the spoils after winger Jacob Murphy drew Newcastle level in the 82nd minute, Barry stepped up with a close-range effort to leave Moyes punching the air on the touchline.

Moyes reacted similarly after defender Jarrad Branthwaite opened the scoring with a glancing header at the near post in this topsy-turvy clash after stealing a march on marker Sandro Tonali to get on the end of James Garner's corner.

Disjointed Newcastle found a way to equalise after Jacob Ramsey's shot took a deflection off the sliding Branthwaite and looped over goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.

But Newcastle were only level for a couple of minutes after keeper Nick Pope spilled Dwight McNeil's swerving long-range effort, and Beto reacted quickest to tap home on the rebound.

It was the perfect way for Beto to repay the faith of Moyes after being handed his first start since December.

Newcastle, who were fresh from booking their place in the last 16 of the Champions League in midweek, looked stunned.

Head coach Eddie Howe demanded a response after the break as he turned to his bench, and substitute Murphy drew his side level with a deflected volley from Joelinton's scooped cross.

But Everton showed their powers of recovery once again to immediately retake the lead after the falling Barry managed to connect with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's cross.

The visitors managed to see the game out after Pickford made a flying save to palm Tonali's volley on to the crossbar.

They move up to eighth in the table, while Newcastle stay 12th.

Newcastle United cruised into the last 16 of the Champions League following another victory against Qarabag.

Eddie Howe's side already had one foot in the next round after a 6-1 rout in Azerbaijan last week.

Howe gave some key figures a breather for the second leg at St James' Park, as a result, but the Newcastle head coach wanted to ensure his players "didn't lose rhythm and the good feeling we had".

Much-changed Newcastle duly picked up from where they left off in Baku, after again racing into a two-goal lead, but this was a night where spirited Qarabag gave a much better account of themselves thereafter.

Sandro Tonali opened the scoring for Newcastle in the fourth minute after Qarabag goalkeeper Mateusz Kochalski could only parry William Osula's header into the path of the Italian, who could hardly miss to net his first ever goal in the competition.

Newcastle scored another just a couple of minutes later when Harvey Barnes drilled the ball across goal and the unmarked Joelinton fired home expertly on the volley.

Qarabag could have gone under, as they did after going behind so early in the first leg, but the visitors rallied to their credit.

The Azerbaijan Premier League champions pulled one back after half-time when Camilo Duran skipped away from Dan Burn and finished clinically past Aaron Ramsdale to give the travelling support a moment to remember following a mammoth 2,500-mile journey.

Newcastle defender Sven Botman quickly restored Newcastle's seven-goal aggregate lead when he headed home from Kieran Trippier's corner kick, but Qarabag responded once again.

Qarabag were awarded a penalty after Burn handled the ball inside the box and although Ramsdale kept out Marko Jankovic's spot-kick, Elvin Cafarguliyev was quickest to react to knock in the follow up.

Newcastle pushed for another, but the hosts ultimately had to be content with an emphatic 9-3 aggregate win as they set up a last 16 tie against either Barcelona or Chelsea.

The draw is set to be made on Friday (11:00 GMT).

We've seen some stinging criticism from supporters, media outlets and even players/management questions some absord decisions being mae by the men who are meant to be top notch at this level. Referees and their team have got so much wrong in Eddie Howe's last three domestic games and it cost the club potentially a point away to Manchester City, luckily the other two, the Magpies sorted out the officials mess by outscoring their opponents. Lee goes through the incidents and calls for retraining for all officials or even the idea of the Premier League bringing the best foreign talent from abroad to be in charge. Hosted on Acast.

Anthony Gordon scored four goals as rampant Newcastle United blew Qarabag away to take control of their last 16 Champions League play-off tie.

Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe had spoken about how the visitors wanted to "turn these moments into history and moments people talk about for a long time", and his dominant side certainly delivered with their biggest ever win in the competition at the Tofig Bahramov Republican Stadium.

Qarabag had previously drawn 2-2 against Chelsea - and defeated Benfica, Eintracht Frankfurt and Copenhagen - but the beleaguered Azerbaijani champions simply could not live with the pace and potency of Newcastle's attack in a damaging first-leg.

Gordon, in particular, caused the hosts untold problems on a night he overtook Alan Shearer to become Newcastle's all-time top scorer in the Champions League.

It took Gordon just two minutes to open the scoring after the latched on to a through ball from marauding centre-back Dan Burn and finished coolly past goalkeeper Mateusz Kochalski into the bottom corner.

Newcastle did not let up from that moment and Kieran Trippier's teasing cross was headed home by the towering Malick Thiaw at the back post just a few minutes later.

No wonder stunned Qarabag manager Gurban Gurbanov used a break in play to call his players over for some much-needed instructions, but it soon got even worse for the hosts.

Newcastle were awarded the first of two penalties on the night after Harvey Barnes' shot struck the arm of the sliding Matheus Silva as the Qarabag defender attempted to block a shot from inside the box.

Following a review by the video assistant referee (VAR), referee Espen Eskas was sent over to his pitchside monitor to take a second look and he duly pointed to the spot.

Although Kochalski guessed the right way, and got a touch to the ball, the Qarabag 'keeper could not keep out Gordon's powerful penalty.

But Gordon was far from finished yet and, remarkably, the forward scored his third from the restart after he pounced on slack play from defender Kevin Medina and rounded Kochalski to make it 4-0.

There was still time for Gordon to grab his fourth from the spot just a couple of minutes before half-time after goalkeeper Kocalski took the England international down inside the box.

Kochalski again guessed correctly, but it was another emphatic penalty from Gordon.

Qarabag, to their credit, rallied after the break and defender Elvin Cafarquliyev pulled one back from a tight angle.

But substitute Jacob Murphy went on to score a deflected effort from distance to restore Newcastle's five-goal advantage before these sides meet in the return fixture at St James' Park next week.

Jacob Ramsey fired Newcastle United to a rare away win to give head coach Eddie Howe a timely boost and keep the pressure on Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank.

Both bosses had to field questions about their positions in the build-up to this crunch Premier League game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium following a poor run of results.

Frank did not hide the fact his injury-hit side were "desperate" for their first league victory of 2026 while Howe, similarly, called on his players to show "our feeling of how important this is to us" after a run of just one win in eight games in all competitions.

It was Howe's team who delivered for their manager on a night a section of Spurs supporters chanted "You're getting sacked in the morning" in Frank's direction as chief executive Vinai Venkatesham watched on.

Newcastle, who lined up without a recognised striker, took the lead through an unlikely scorer in defender Malick Thiaw in first-half stoppage time.

Guglielmo Vicario managed to parry Thiaw's initial header from Anthony Elanga's cross, but the Newcastle centre-back was quickest to react and got there ahead of Pape Matar Sarr and Archie Gray to stab the ball into the net and send the away end into raptures.

Spurs, to their credit, briefly rallied after the break and the hosts drew level from their first corner of the night when Xavi Simons' delivery was headed back across goal by Sarr and Gray hooked the ball into the net.

Frank punched the air on the touchline as the stadium erupted around him, but Spurs were not level for long.

Anthony Gordon danced his way into the box and fed Ramsey, who picked out the bottom corner with a clever first-time finish to score his maiden goal for the club following his summer move from Aston Villa.

Newcastle held out to win just their third league game on the road this season and move up to 10th, while Spurs slip to 16th.
