Eddie Howe's Newcastle United secured a crucial 4-1 win over Everton on Saturday, ending a six-month drought without an away victory in the Premier League. The win was sparked by a lightning-fast goal from defender Malick Thiaw just 52 seconds into the match. Lewis Miley and Nick Woltemade added to the lead before halftime, and Thiaw scored his second goal of the game after the interval. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's strike for Everton was a consolation goal in an otherwise dismal display by the hosts. Howe expressed his delight at finally overcoming the mental hurdle of securing an away win, saying it was a 'big moment' for the team. However, he cautioned that there is still a long way to go before they can say they have solved their issues. Everton manager David Moyes attributed the loss to both the absence of Idrissa Gueye and the quality of Newcastle's performance, stating that they mustn't underestimate the opposition. The win marks a significant step forward for Newcastle, but Howe is hesitant to make any big statements, preferring to focus on the work still to be done.
