The Newcastle United F.C. Vs Everton F.C. lineups from the Premier League fixture played on Saturday 28 February 2026 at a packed St James’ Park — attendance 52,514 — delivered a Premier League encounter of genuine quality and considerable drama, as Everton substitute Tyias Barry’s 83rd-minute goal sealed a dramatic 3-2 away victory for Sean Dyche’s side in a game that swung repeatedly on individual moments, with the Toffees ending a difficult recent run of form in the most emphatic fashion possible on Tyneside.
Jacob Ramsey had cancelled out Jarrad Branthwaite’s early opener for the Magpies, before Beto restored Everton’s advantage 34 minutes in, setting up a tense second half in which Newcastle appeared to have snatched a point through substitute Jacob Murphy’s 82nd-minute strike — only for Barry to net within 60 seconds to send the travelling Everton supporters into raptures.
The result illustrated both Everton’s resilience and Newcastle’s continued struggles to manage games from positions of apparent parity.

The Newcastle United F.C. Vs Everton F.C. Lineups for this fixture showed Eddie Howe electing for an attacking-minded approach with Elanga and Woltemade providing width and dynamism from the outset, while Dyche’s setup proved more streetwise — absorbing pressure before striking through the directness of Beto and the clinical impact of Barry off the bench.
Branthwaite’s headed opener and Beto’s decisive second-half goal demonstrated Everton’s set-piece and physical threat — qualities that have underpinned much of their league survival campaigns in recent seasons.
Newcastle’s estimated club valuation sits at approximately £900 million following the Saudi-led takeover, while Everton, with their new Bramley-Moore Dock stadium investment included, carry a comparable enterprise value placing the club in a similar commercial bracket to their mid-table rivals.
