After the thrills
of cup ties played and the anticipation of those to come, Saturday
saw reality intrude yet again for Eddie Howe's side - losing their
third consecutive Premier League home game for the first time in
five years.
Everton have gained a reputation as away day specialists this season
and headed to Tyneside unbeaten in five games on the road. However
Newcastle only have themselves to blame for failing to take at least
a point from this game.
A significant part of the Toffees' armoury is their ability at
corners and they soon demonstrated that: James Garner's 19th minute
flag kick headed in by Jarrad Branthwaite.
The hosts struggled to find space or create any scoring chances
until a fine pass from Sandro Tonali found Jacob Ramsey on the edge
of the Everton box and his powerful effort took a deflection as it
flew past Jordan Pickford.
Within two minutes though, a gift of a goal allowed the visitors to
regain the lead. Nick Pope blocked a Dwight McNeil shot but allowed
the ball to squirm away from him horribly and made a present of it
for Beto to finish.
An unchanged line-up emerged for the second half, only for
goalscorer Ramsey to be hastily replaced by Joe Willock before play
began after vomiting on the pitch.
The ineffective Anthony Elanga and Nick Woltemade both lasted just
over 10 minutes before making way for Jacob Murphy and Harvey Barnes
- the latter replacing Gordon down the left after the Everton old
boy had shifted out there from centre forward to replace Joelinton
at 0-1.
Murphy took up his customary right wing role before going to right
back slot in place of Trippier, popping up with a
second United equaliser to seemingly end an afternoon of frustration
when they struggled to unlock the Everton defence and were
vulnerable to counter attacks.
Within seconds of Murphy's shot deflecting in though, yet more
over-elaboration from Gordon deep in his own half allowed the
Toffees to race forward and the ball end up once again in the home
net, after substitute Thierno Barry bundled Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's
cross over the line.
The Magpies almost salvaged a point from a game they were never in control of when Sandro Tonali's
blockbuster volley was
touched on to his crossbar by Pickford in added time.
That's one league win in seven now for Newcastle, ahead of the
midweek visit of Manchester United. That can now be fairly termed as
something of a six-pointer.
More to follow...
Team:
Pope, Trippier (Wissa 75), Hall, Burn, Thiaw, Tonali, Ramsey

A proportion of home fans
shamed themselves by booing, flouncing out after the final Everton
goal and giving Pope and Gordon stick for their mistakes.
Embarrassing.
Referee: Stuart
Attwell - game number three this season for the Warwickshire
whistler, following on from the 1-3 loss at Brentford and 2-1 home
victory over Burnley.
VAR: Nick Hopton
Eddie Howe said:
"Certainly in relation
to the Premier League, our form for a while has not been strong
enough. It’s not been good enough. We know that. We take
responsibility for that.
"It’s been really frustrating for us and that is the perils of
Europe, I’m afraid, where we’ve tried to be laser-focused on every
game and give attention to every game with the same importance.
"But
with the deluge of games, your focus can be swayed. Our Premier
League return in recent weeks has been nowhere near the level it has
been historically. Our home form has been so reliable for us but
it’s tailed off.
"We’ve
got to try and grab that back as quickly as possible. We love
playing here. We want this to be our place where we pick up the most
points, where the players feel free to play and through our own
performances, that hasn’t been the case.
"I
don’t see the players not trying, I see sometimes maybe the other
way, where players are over-trying.
"I
felt attacking-wise, we could still do loads better today. But we
had enough ball around their box. We had enough crossing
opportunities. half-chances, Sandro’s hit his volley at the end.
"It
could have been a very different result again. But we’re just making
too many individual errors. It’s costing us goals at the other end.
We can’t do that at this level.
"If
you put a list of our goals, watched a lot of our goals we’re
conceding, in the Premier League especially, and put them together,
it’s not good showing for us. So we need to focus on that.”
On his in-game formation
changes:
"The set-up was done with reason, and with the limited time we had
to prepare, we had good logic. We didn't like and we changed it."
On Jacob Ramsey:
"It looked like an
illness. At first, I was aware it was at half-time. He felt he could
continue, but it was obvious at the start of that half that he
couldn't.”
Stats:
Sandro Tonali completed a century of appearances for
Newcastle in all competitions.
Jacob Murphy struck his 22nd Premier League goal for the
club, taking him level with Laurent Robert.
Jacob Ramsey doubled his PL goal tally for United, having
netted in the victory at Spurs earlier in the month.

Trailing to Henry Johnson's 19th minute own goal, the young Magpies
drew level ten minutes into the second period when home goalkeeper
Harry Holt was also credited with an own goal.
Kacey Wooster shot the visitors ahead on 64 minutes before Rovers
levelled through Archie McCoy's penalty conversion ten minutes
later, after Ezra Tika-Lemba was adjudged to have impeded Tyler
Mansbridge in the United area.
McCoy then turned provider in the second minute of time added on,
Valentin Joseph firing past goalkeeper Roman Dowell to claim all
three points for Blackburn.

ST holders have 24
hours to apply, 24 hours to determine success, 48 hours to

Success is based on the loyalty point total calculated from applications
received. Any applications from ST holders with less points are entered into a
ballot, which will have taken place before tickets go on sale.
The purchase window is divided into two sections determined by a loyalty
point division that alters for each game - those successful applicants above
that point division get a couple of hours head start.
Note that emails from NUFC confirming success may arrive after the purchase
window opens - if you think you qualify because of your points total, just log
on and complete your purchase regardless.
Tickets not bought by successful applicants within 48 hours are offered

On This Day in History |

1st March |

Born Or Died:
1893 William Bradley
born, Wardley.
(1914-27)
Goalkeeper who began his playing
career in local league football but was signed from Portsmouth at a cost of
£300.
Appearing in wartime league matches during the 1918/19 season, Bill's
competitive first team debut came in a 1-0 home win over Preston North End in
November 1919.
Acting as understudy to first-choice Jimmy Lawrence, United signed veteran
Sandy Mutch when Lawrence left SJP in 1922.
Bill appeared in United's FA Cup First Round victory over his former club
Portsmouth in the 1923/24 season but then saw Mutch play in all of the
following rounds as the club made it to their first Wembley final.
Mutch then injured himself at Aston Villa in a league game less than a week
before facing the same side in the final.
Bradley was simultaneously keeping goal for Newcastle reserves as they lost to South
Shields reserves in the final of the Newcastle Infirmary Cup at
Gallowgate.
That was actually his third reserve game in just four days - all at home
- following a
North Eastern League fixture on the Friday
and a Northumberland Senior Cup Final win over Blyth Spartans on the
Saturday.
Joining up with the first team squad at their pre-Wembley base in Harrow, Bradley's
place in the side wasn't confirmed until the day of the final, when
Mutch finally bowed to the inevitable and pulled out.
Bradley duly lined up against Villa in those pre-substitute
days and although reportedly "very shaky under fire to begin with"
later "turned out to be the hero of the game" as Newcastle
won 2-0.
Mutch then returned to the starting XI for the opening two games of the
following season, before Bradley became first choice for the remainder
of that campaign.
The acquisition of Willie Wilson then saw Bill drop down the pecking order once
more; exiting in 1927 to join Ashington, who at that time were playing in Third
Division North.
He later appeared for North Shields and joined their board of Directors
following his retirement, living in the town and running a newsagents
shop.
1980
Diego Antonio Gavilan
born, Ascunsion,
Paraguay.
(2000-04)
Following the
arrival
of Kevin Gallacher
and Helder, Sir
Bobby Robson's first
long-term player
purchase came with a
£2m punt on an
unknown midfielder from Cerro Porteno in
his native Paraguay.
"Sparrowhawk" was a slightly-built winger
who never really adjusted to the demands of the Premier
League - and even less so when appearing for the reserves at the likes of Bedlington, Blyth and Whitley Bay.
Blooded as a substitute
late on in a 2-2 draw at
the mackems in February 2000 and his only senior goal came against
Coventry City at SJP
two months later.
Just two first team appearances followed in the following season and after
failing to adapt to life in the UK was loaned to Mexicans Universidad in late 2001.
At the end of that season Gavilan appeared for Paraguay at the World Cup Finals, making
one start and two appearances from the bench in South
Korea.
A wages dispute with Universidad then saw him heading back to Newcastle while
seeking further loan moves and a switch to Brazilian side Internacional was
quickly concluded.
Granted a free transfer by Newcastle in January 2004, Gavilan moved to
Argentina two years later with Newell's Old Boys (an earlier switch to Italian
side Udinese having ended with him returning to Internacional).
Selected for a second World Cup Finals that year, he was never called off the
bench in Paraguay's three group games, including a narrow defeat by England in
Frankfurt.
A return to Brazil came in 2007 with Gremio and later moves
in the same country took him to Flamengo and Portuguesa.
In 2009 Gavilan surfaced in Argentina with Independiente, before yet another
switch, this time to Olimpia in his native Paraguay.
Diego's South
American odyssey
then took another
turn when signing
for Peruvian club
Juan Aurich before
heading back to his
home city briefly in
2012 with
Independiente.
Following his
retirement from
playing in 2012,
Gavilan began
studying for his
coaching
qualifications and
trained young
footballers at a
school in Ascunsion.
A coaching career in Paraguay soon followed, taking him to Deportivo Capiata,
Sportivo Trinidense, Sol de America and back to Deportivo Capiata.
2019 brought a move to Brazil with Pelotas, returning to his former side Cerro Porteno
in July 2023.
1990 Ben Tozer born,
Plymouth.
(2008-11)
 In
one of his last acts as Newcastle boss, Sam Allardyce sanctioned a £1m move
for Ben from Swindon Town in January 2008.
The defender made six senior starts and one sub appearance while at
the County Ground, the deal representing good business for Swindon, who had
signed him barely six months earlier from Plymouth's youth side.
Appearing for our academy and reserve sides, Ben captained the reserves to
success against Blyth Spartans in the Northumberland Senior Cup that season.
He was then named on the bench
by Kevin Keegan for the Premier League season closer at Everton (whom he'd been
on trial with, before opting to join Newcastle).
However, a
cartilage problem sustained in the early weeks of the following season required
surgery and sidelined him until April 2009, when returning
for the
reserves.
After featuring in pre-season, Ben's senior United debut came in the League Cup
defeat at Peterborough in September 2009.
His second appearance - and first in the league - then arrived in the
home win over Doncaster the following month, following the dismissal of
defender Zurab Khizanishvili, Tozer appearing in the 87th minute.
Ben was then an unused substitute for an FA Cup Third Round tie in January 2010
against his hometown team and former club, Plymouth Argyle.
With no prospect of first team football at SJP following our promotion,
Ben appeared for Yeovil Town and Leyton Orient in
pre-season, but no loan followed.
Borrowed by League Two Northampton Town in September 2010, he debuted in a famous
League
Cup win
over Liverpool at Anfield.
Scoring his first senior goal on his home debut (against Bradford City), a red
card against Hereford United however ended his month-long loan spell
prematurely. Tozer
returned to Sixfields in November 2010 for the remainder of the season and then
made the move permanent in June 2011, following his release by Newcastle.
Loaned to
Colchester United in November
2013, Ben
returned to Northampton before
departing in the summer of
2015.
Later serving Yeovil Town, Newport County and Cheltenham Town,
Tozer joined National
League Wrexham in August 2021 and captained them to a
Football League return two years later.
Joning National League side Forest Green Rovers
in June 2024, Ben confirmed his playing retirement in May
2025.

The young striker took a perfect through ball from Paul Gascoigne before
shooting past future
Magpie goalkeeper John Burridge to earn Willie McFaul's side a point.
Meanwhile, a young Saints striker was banging them in for the juniors and
had scored on his England U16s debut. He would make his club debut soon after at Chelsea, and
end up being Newcastle's all-time leading goalscorer...
