Awful where it matters – Everton 3-1 Newcastle

Newcastle United was eliminated from the Carabao Cup following a 3-1 defeat to Everton, who advanced to the quarter-finals. James Garner opened the scoring for Everton with a precise strike before Hayden Hackney doubled the lead with a volley past goalkeeper Hornicek. Despite Newcastle registering 29 shots across the match, defensive lapses and a lack of clinical finishing proved decisive.

Everton extended their advantage in the second half when Barry scored to make it 3-0. Dan Burn headed in an 88th-minute consolation goal for Newcastle, which sparked an altercation inside the net that resulted in four bookings. The writer, Olly Hawkins, criticized Newcastle's inconsistency and poor performance in both boxes under manager Jaissle.
