Newcastle Match Today delivered a clear result at Murrayfield Stadium, where Everton beat Newcastle United 3-1 in Matthias Jaissle’s second match in charge. The public summer fixture gave Newcastle another look at where the squad stands during the preseason stretch, but Everton were the team that made the most of their chances.
Early chances, then Everton struck first
Newcastle started brightly. In the opening couple of minutes, Yoane Wissa forced a save from Mark Travers, and in the 14th minute Lukáš Horníček denied Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. Those moments suggested Newcastle might build on the momentum they showed after coming from behind to beat Valencia in the Spanish sun at Mestalla on Saturday.
Instead, Everton found the first goal in the 27th minute when Thierno Barry scored. Later in the first half, Iliman Ndiaye added a penalty to send Everton into the break with control of the match.
Jaissle changed all ten outfield players at halftime
At the break, Matthias Jaissle switched all ten outfield players, giving Newcastle a different look for the second half. The changes did not immediately swing the game back in Newcastle’s favor, and Everton added a third through Tyrique George after the restart.
Newcastle did get on the board six minutes from time when Harvey Barnes scored, but the late goal only reduced the margin. The result was recorded as Newcastle United 1 Everton 3.
For Newcastle, the match was another useful checkpoint in the summer schedule, especially with a new head coach still shaping the group. For Everton, it was a straightforward win and a reminder that even in preseason, sharp finishing and early control can decide a game quickly.
