Daniel Wales reports as Newcastle United finally claimed their first away win in the Premier League this season, winning 1-4 against Everton, much to the relief of Head Coach Eddie Howe following the full time whistle. Everton boss David Moyes then admitted that his side were beaten by the better team on the day at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
00:00Eddie Howe was the most relieved man inside the Hill Dickinson Stadium as Newcastle United finally claimed their first away victory in the Premier League this season.
00:09And they did it in style, beating Everton by four goals to one.
00:14Two were headers by defender Malik Chau, with one in each half, with Lewis Miley firing a shot through Jordan Pickford before Nick Vultemada then lobbed the Everton goalkeeper.
00:25The Toffees did pull one back in the second half when Kean and Dewsbury Hall controlled the ball between two defenders before slotting home.
00:32Eddie Howe was simply happy to not have to answer any more questions on Newcastle's Premier League away form this season, but admitted that this win, whilst impressive, was only the first step.
00:43I'm just pleased I don't have to answer the dreaded questions on it.
00:47We've got a lot of work to do, obviously, to consistently say that we've solved some of the issues that we've had.
00:56But it's a step forward and that's a big moment for us, confidence-wise, for the general feeling, back-to-back wins in the Premier League, that will help us no end.
01:06And now we have two home games that we need to try and capitalise on.
01:08Yeah, no, look, they were much better than us.
01:14Played better and much more physical, much more experienced than we are.
01:19I can see that Newcastle are learning from their Champions League games and, you know, when they have to defend or hard to play against and really quick on the counter-attack.
01:29And, look, we were beaten by the better team, there's no doubt about that.
01:33An honest assessment from David Moyes, but he will still have high hopes for his Everton team this season.
01:40For Eddie Howe and Newcastle, they know that they are about to embark on a potentially season-defining run of games,
01:47starting with two home fixtures against Tottenham and Burnley, which could put them right back in the mix for European qualification.
01:55There is also a Champions League away trip to Leverkusen and a Carvalho Cup quarter-final at home to Fulham.
02:02Sandwiched in between Leverkusen and Fulham, though, is the small matter of the time-weird derby against Sunderland.
02:09Now that Newcastle have that elusive away win, though, they may well be more confident.
