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

Dive into Ladbrokes’ 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 hit the ground running at Goodison Park, taking the lead inside the first minute when M. Thiaw found the net. They doubled their advantage on 25 minutes through L. Miley, dominating the early exchanges and putting Everton on the back foot. Just before the break, N. Woltemade added a third for the visitors on 45 minutes, leaving Everton with a mountain to climb in the second half.

After the interval, Everton made a change at 46 minutes with C. Alcaraz replacing T. Iroegbunam, but Newcastle extended their lead further when Thiaw scored his second on 58 minutes. Everton pulled one back through K. Dewsbury-Hall on 69 minutes, offering a glimmer of hope, but despite further substitutions including T. Dibling and D. McNeil coming on at 80 minutes and Beto at 87 minutes, they couldn’t mount a comeback. Newcastle managed the game out with their own changes late on, securing a convincing victory.

Possession was almost evenly split at 49% for Everton and 51% for Newcastle, but the visitors made better use of their slight edge, converting it into four goals. Everton edged the corners 8-7 and completed more successful dribbles at 42 to Newcastle’s 31, suggesting they had opportunities to create but lacked the clinical finishing that Newcastle displayed with four assists compared to Everton’s one. No cards were issued to either side, keeping the game flowing without major disciplinary interruptions, and while Everton used four substitutions and Newcastle five, the Magpies’ changes in the latter stages helped them maintain control.

The absence of penalties or injury-time goals meant the scoring was confined to open play, with Newcastle’s assist tally underlining their effective teamwork in breaking down Everton’s defence. Everton’s higher dribble count hinted at individual flair, but it wasn’t enough to overturn Newcastle’s early dominance.

The match was defined by Newcastle’s blistering start, with M. Thiaw’s goal after just one minute setting the tone and L. Miley’s strike on 25 minutes compounding Everton’s woes. N. Woltemade’s effort on the stroke of half-time at 45 minutes effectively killed off any realistic chance of an Everton recovery, while Thiaw’s second on 58 minutes sealed the rout. Everton’s lone response came from K. Dewsbury-Hall on 69 minutes, assisted by J. Tarkowski, but it proved too little too late.

Substitutions played a role in the second half, with Everton bringing on C. Alcaraz for T. Iroegbunam at 46 minutes in an attempt to spark a revival, followed by further changes at 80 and 87 minutes. Newcastle’s double switch at 71 minutes, with J. Ramsey replacing H. Barnes and J. Willock coming on for A. Elanga, helped refresh their midfield, and their late triple substitution at 90 minutes ensured they saw out the win comfortably.

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 for creativity. J. Tarkowski stood out in defence, providing an assist for their only goal, and the setup aimed to exploit width, though it struggled against Newcastle’s pressing.

Newcastle United deployed a 4-3-3 shape, allowing their midfield trio to control the tempo and support quick transitions forward. M. Thiaw was prominent at the back but also contributed offensively with two goals, while partnerships like L. Miley and D. Burn in midfield proved effective in building attacks.

M. Thiaw earned Man of the Match honours for his brace, scoring in the 1st and 58th minutes to bookend Newcastle’s dominant performance. His defensive solidity combined with clinical finishing made him the standout player, directly influencing the result with goals assisted by L. Miley and L. Hall.
