Eddie Howe's team celebrated their first top-flight away win since April, with Thiaw scoring the fastest goal of the season. Newcastle United ended their away win drought with a 4-1 victory over Everton.


“We have a lot of work to do to say we have solved some of the issues we have had, but it is a big moment for us. A step forward...”


Newcastle United finally broke their away win drought with a resounding 4-1 victory over Everton, thanks to a stunning performance from the Magpies. Malick Thiaw scored the fastest goal of the season, netting after just 52 seconds, and Lewis Miley and Nick Woltemade added to the scoring before halftime.


Manager Eddie Howe is thrilled with the win, hoping it will be a springboard for the rest of the season. “That was really important as we haven’t had that feeling enough or at all,” Howe said. “Very pleased today that we were able to put that right and give them that winning feeling to go back to Newcastle with.”




Thiaw's goal was his first in the Premier League, and he made it two in the second half, heading home a fourth for Newcastle. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall scored a consolation for Everton, but it was a day to forget for the hosts, who conceded four goals for the first time at their new ground.




Malick Thiaw scored his second goal of the game after the interval, and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's strike for Everton was little consolation for the hosts. At the final whistle, Eddie Howe and his players celebrated with the traveling Newcastle fans, basking in the glory of their first top-flight away win since April. Howe said, “That was really important as we haven't had that feeling enough or at all,” highlighting the significance of the victory.


Howe's team put in a polished and relentless performance, overcoming Everton's challenges. The win marked a big step forward for Newcastle, and Howe was pleased with his team's execution. “We have a lot of work to do to say we have solved some of the issues we have had, but it is a big moment for us. A step forward,” he added.


“Very pleased today that we were able to put that right and give them that winning feeling to go back to Newcastle with.


“I'm just pleased I don't have to answer the dreaded questions on it.


“We have a lot of work to do to say we have solved some of the issues we have had, but it is a big moment for us. A step forward.”


When asked if a mental hurdle had been overcome, Eddie Howe played it down, saying, “Time will tell. I'm not going to make any big statements, there is a long way to go.” He's keeping his feet on the ground, focusing on the journey ahead.




Everton manager David Moyes refused to blame the absence of Idrissa Gueye, who was sent off for slapping Michael Keane, for their poor display. “It's not an excuse,” Moyes said, taking responsibility for the team's performance. Everton conceded four goals for the first time at their new ground, a day to forget for the hosts.


“It could be that, but it could have been the quality of Newcastle United. You mustn't underestimate them, they're a Champions League team,” he said.


“They got off to a great start, we got off to a terrible start. They were much better than us, played better, and much more experienced than we are.”
