Kieran Trippier’s defensive lapses contributed to Everton’s 3-0 win over Newcastle, pulling Sean Dyche’s side out of the relegation zone.
The victory, marked by second-half goals from Dwight McNeil, Abdoulaye Doucoure, and Beto, ends Everton’s struggle and marks their move from the zone for the first time since a 10-point deduction.
Despite Everton’s success, Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s miss from close range drew attention. The striker, with an open opportunity, failed to convert, leaving the home fans frustrated in the first half.
Meanwhile, at the final whistle, there was a heated altercation, involving Everton’s Jordan Pickford and Newcastles Joelinton.
Players from both teams engaged in a confrontation, with Pickford needing to be held back by his teammates.
