Everton 1-4 Newcastle United: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Coral’s post-match review of Everton 1-4 Newcastle United in the Premier League on Saturday, 29 November 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

Newcastle United got off to a flying start at Goodison Park, with M. Thiaw finding the net just one minute in to give the visitors an early lead. They kept the pressure on, and L. Miley doubled their advantage in the 25th minute, making it look like a comfortable afternoon for the Magpies. Right before the break, N. Woltemade added a third in the 45th minute, leaving Everton with a mountain to climb as the teams headed into half-time.

The second half saw Newcastle extend their dominance when M. Thiaw grabbed his second of the game in the 58th minute, putting the result almost beyond doubt. Everton did pull one back through K. Dewsbury-Hall in the 69th minute, offering a glimmer of hope for the home fans. Despite some late pushes, the Toffees couldn’t find more goals, and Newcastle saw out the win comfortably.

Possession was almost dead even, with Everton holding 49% and Newcastle edging it at 51%, which shows how closely contested the midfield battle was, though Newcastle made better use of their slight advantage to create scoring chances. Everton had the upper hand in corners with 8 to Newcastle’s 7 and were more effective in successful dribbles at 42 compared to 31, suggesting they tried to break through with individual skill but couldn’t convert that into enough goals. There were no cards shown to either side, keeping things clean, and while Everton managed one assist to Newcastle’s four, the visitors’ superior setup in the final third clearly influenced their convincing victory.

Substitutions played a role too, with Everton using four: C. Alcaraz came on for T. Iroegbunam at 46’, T. Dibling replaced I. Ndiaye and D. McNeil came on for J. Grealish both at 80’, and Beto replaced T. Barry at 87’, perhaps aiming to inject fresh energy late on. Newcastle used all five: J. Ramsey replaced H. Barnes and J. Willock came on for A. Elanga both at 71’, then F. Schar replaced L. Hall, S. Tonali came on for Bruno Guimaraes, and A. Gordon replaced N. Woltemade all at 90’, helping them manage the game and protect their lead without any penalties or injury-time goals affecting the scoreline.

The game exploded into life right from the kick-off when M. Thiaw scored for Newcastle in the first minute, assisted by L. Miley, setting a dominant tone early on. L. Miley then turned scorer in the 25th minute with help from D. Burn, and N. Woltemade’s strike assisted by A. Elanga just before half-time in the 45th minute really knocked the wind out of Everton’s sails. Thiaw’s second goal in the 58th minute, set up by L. Hall, sealed the deal, though K. Dewsbury-Hall’s reply for Everton in the 69th, assisted by J. Tarkowski, provided a brief spark.

Substitutions added some intrigue, like Everton bringing on C. Alcaraz for T. Iroegbunam at the break to try and steady the ship, and Newcastle’s double change at 71’ where J. Ramsey replaced H. Barnes and J. Willock came on for A. Elanga, which helped maintain their control. Late on, Everton introduced T. Dibling for I. Ndiaye, D. McNeil for J. Grealish at 80’, and Beto for T. Barry at 87’, while Newcastle made three changes at 90’ with F. Schar replacing L. Hall, S. Tonali for Bruno Guimaraes, and A. Gordon for N. Woltemade, ensuring they finished strong without any major disruptions like cards or penalties.

Everton lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, relying on a solid defensive base to contain Newcastle’s attacks while looking to their attacking midfielders to create chances up front. Standout partnerships included the central defensive duo holding the line, with the wide players providing width to stretch the play.

Newcastle United set up in a 4-3-3, allowing their midfield three to control the tempo and support quick transitions to their front line. Key roles shone through with the wingers linking well with the central striker, creating effective attacking partnerships that overwhelmed Everton’s backline.

M. Thiaw earned Man of the Match honours for his brace, scoring in the 1st and 58th minutes to spearhead Newcastle’s dominant display. His early goal set the tone, and his composure in defence while contributing offensively made him the standout performer on a day when the Magpies looked in complete control.
