Everton hosted Newcastle, sealed the victory in the first half with a 3-1 win and advanced to the Carabao Cup quarterfinals, where they will face Fleetwood, who, as you may recall, knocked out Arsenal.
The visitors started the match strongly and had a good chance in the 12th minute with a header by Barnes, but Pickford denied him “no”; however, the home team gradually took complete control of the match.
