Following a trio of defeats during the festive period, Newcastle bounced back by completing a double over the Toffees on an ice rink of a Gallowgate pitch.

The emergence of Chris Waddle began in this memorable tie, as he struck his first senior goals to end United's barren run of four goalless games.

Without Palace-bound Alan Pardew, 4,000 travelling fans vented their spleens on the players, coaches and owner, as frustration spilled over into anger at the final whistle.

It was a justifiable response to a feckless showing from United, who gave debuts to Lubo Satka and Callum Roberts.
