What David Moyes Did in the 89th Minute Spoke Volumes as Everton Heartbeat Emerges
Newcastle's tactical experiment with Nick Woltemade failed, leading to late substitutions and a breakaway goal that secured Everton's 3-2 win, worsening Newcastle's home form.
- On February 28, 2026, Everton beat Newcastle United 3-2 at St James' Park, with Thierno Barry bundling in the late winner after Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's decisive work.
- Newcastle's experiment with Nick Woltemade in midfield failed to generate involvement, as he had just 14 touches by the 55th minute and Eddie Howe admitted, `We shuffled it around a little bit today to find`.
- Howe restored Anthony Gordon to the front line after the Woltemade switch but later hooked him, prompting boos and a turnover that led to Everton's breakaway winner.
- The result leaves Newcastle 12th and 12 points off the top five with 10 games remaining, in a defensive slump with two clean sheets in 21 league games.
- Fixture congestion and recent results have raised concerns over Newcastle's home form, with Howe citing `the perils of Europe` as a factor.
