Everton Defeats Newcastle 1-0, Increasing Pressure on Coach Jaissle

Everton secured a 1-0 victory against Newcastle United at St James’ Park on November 2, 2026. The win puts more pressure on Newcastle’s coach Matthias Jaissle, who is facing criticism after a series of poor results.

Thierno Barry scored the only goal of the match early in the second half, helping Everton climb to seventh place in the Premier League. Meanwhile, Newcastle is now in 13th place, having lost four of their last five games.

Newcastle’s Jacob Ramsey was sent off in the final moments of the game for a foul on Harrison Armstrong. This marked another disappointing night for Newcastle, whose fans booed the team off the field at both half-time and full-time.

Jaissle, who took over after Eddie Howe’s unexpected departure, has struggled to find success in his first season. He urgently needs a win against Fulham, another struggling team, in their next match.

Newcastle has had a tough time on Mondays, losing 22 of their last 33 Premier League matches played on that day. Many fans left the stadium early as the team failed to impress.

Barry’s goal was his eighth of the season, contributing to Everton’s second win over Newcastle in just five days. This victory also ended Everton’s streak of two league losses.

Jack Grealish was absent from the Everton lineup for the second game in a row due to disciplinary reasons. Despite his absence, Everton managed to secure the win.
