Everton defeated Newcastle United 3-0 on Thursday, lifting the club out of the Premier League’s relegation zone for the first time since earning a 10-point punishment.
Everton’s three goals came late in the second half, all as a result of blunders by Kieran Trippier.
In the 79th minute, the Newcastle right-back kicked thin air, allowing Dwight McNeil to tack him and carry the ball forward into the penalty area before arrowing a fire shot into the top corner.
Trippier fumbled the ball once more in the build-up to Everton’s second goal, which was scored by Abdoulaye Doucoure after superb work from Jack Harrison.
Everton secured a stunning victory in additional time when Beto scored his first Premier League goal after latching onto a through feed from fellow substitute Nathan Patterson.
The VAR reviewed Beto’s goal for probable offside. However, replays clearly indicated that Trippier’s location kept Beto onside. Everton moved up to 17th in the Premier League position after their win on Thursday.
Without the club’s ten-point deduction, the Toffees would be tenth.
