Everton’s first away league victory of the season came at a ground where winning has started to feel familiar. On November 2, 2026, Thierno Barry’s goal secured a 1-0 Premier League success over Newcastle United at St James’ Park. It was Everton’s third consecutive league win at the venue, an unusual contrast between their wider away form and this particular fixture.
The club’s official match report confirms the third successive victory on Tyneside, while Sky Sports’ independent account identifies the result as Everton’s first away league success since their February visit to the same ground. A difficult run on the road had brought them back to the location of their previous breakthrough.
Two competitions, the same opponent
The venue streak was only one layer of repetition. Everton had also beaten Newcastle 3-1 at Hill Dickinson Stadium in the Carabao Cup on October 29, four days before Monday’s league meeting. The cup victory put them into the quarter-finals; this time the reward was three Premier League points.
That distinction matters to the shape of the story. Everton’s latest two wins over Newcastle came in different competitions and different stadiums. Their three consecutive league wins at St James’ Park form a separate sequence, extending beyond this short spell of back-to-back meetings.
Barry was ready for the rebound
Monday’s decisive moment arrived in the 49th minute. Tyrique George’s low shot escaped goalkeeper Lukas Hornicek, leaving Barry to finish from close range. The basic sequence is described by both Everton and Peter Creer’s separate match report. After Everton had missed opportunities before the interval, the striker was in position to turn the loose ball into the only goal.
The goal survived a VAR review, as the independent report records. Sky also details Newcastle’s objections to the build-up. The decision stood, and the match remained 1-0; the reports support that outcome without requiring a judgment here on the disputed contact.
A clean sheet completed the job
Everton still had defending to do. Anthony Elanga’s attempt threatened the goal line before James Tarkowski cleared, and Jordan Pickford later denied Yoane Wissa at close range. The visitors protected the lead as Newcastle searched for an equaliser. Substitute Jacob Ramsey was then sent off after two quick bookings in stoppage time.
The Premier League’s result announcement confirms that Everton rose to seventh with the victory. Barry’s finish and the work behind him had delivered both an immediate league lift and another result at a ground Everton keep finding ways to win at, even when success elsewhere on the road has proved harder to secure.
