Everton secured their first Premier League away victory since February with a win over Newcastle United, whose goalkeeper Lukas Hornicek made a mistake that led to the only goal. Newcastle finished with 10 men and have now lost four of their past six league matches.
Hornicek was rated 4 after Tyrique George’s attempt slipped beneath him, allowing Thierno Barry to score. Newcastle captain Dan Burn earned a 6, while Lewis Hall received the team’s highest rating, 7. Jacob Ramsey was sent off after coming on as a substitute and was rated 3.
James Garner was Everton’s highest-rated player, with an 8 for a gritty performance. Jordan Pickford, Jake O’Brien, James Tarkowski, Jarrad Branthwaite and several other Toffees each received a 7 as Everton recorded their fourth Premier League clean sheet of the season.
Barry also earned a 7 for the goal, which followed Hornicek’s error. Everton’s win extended their run of victories at St James’ Park to three consecutive Premier League matches. The result lifted them from 14th to seventh, according to the player ratings report.
