Main Points
Everton secured a 3‑1 victory over Newcastle United in the League Cup last‑night, advancing to the quarter‑finals where they will face Fleetwood Town. The match was played at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Thursday. James Garner opened the scoring for Everton in the 34th minute, followed by Hayden Hackney’s first goal for the club since his transfer from Middlesbrough in the close season. In the second half, Thierno Barry added a third for the Toffees, while Dan Burn’s late header for Newcastle came too late to change the outcome. The win ended Everton’s run of three consecutive league defeats. Everton’s manager, David Moyes, said the team had “hit their stride” after a strong start. He noted that the club’s goalkeeper, Jordan Pickford, made a number of early saves, including a palming of a low drive from Joe Willock and a long‑range strike from Fabian Schar. Garner’s opener was described as a “clinical” finish, and Hackney’s goal was a fine finish into the far corner after a pass from Garner. Barry’s goal came from a cross by Kiernan Dewsbury‑Hall, and he struck the ball from close range. Newcastle’s response came in the 88th minute when Dan Burn headed in a cross from Willock, sparking a brief confrontation among players. The result puts Everton one step closer to a League Cup final, a first for the club in 43 years. Everton have never won the competition, having lost their two final appearances in 1977 and 1984. Their most recent trophy was the FA Cup, won 31 years ago. Everton will travel to Fleetwood Town, a fourth‑tier club, for the quarter‑finals scheduled for the week beginning 14 December. Fleetwood caused a major upset earlier in the competition by defeating Premier League champions Arsenal in a penalty shoot‑out after a 1‑1 draw at Highbury. Newcastle United will have a chance for revenge when the teams meet again in the Premier League at St James’ Park on Monday. Everton had announced that Jack Grealish would be unavailable for selection due to a breach of club discipline, following an unauthorised absence from training. The absence was not considered a problem for the team. Article source: The Punch | Image credit: The Punch
