Newcastle unrest grows as Barry and Everton give Jaissle another headache

Everton’s young squad continued their impressive form without Jack Grealish, securing a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Newcastle United at St James’ Park on Sunday. The win came after Jacob Ramsey was sent off in the 89th minute, leaving Everton to play the final minutes with 10 men.

Thierno Barry scored the decisive goal in the second half, capitalizing on a defensive error by Newcastle goalkeeper Lukas Hornicek, who allowed a shot from Tyrique George to slip under him. The result deepened the concerns surrounding Newcastle manager Matthias Jaissle, who faces mounting pressure following a summer of transition and the departure of key players.

Supporters’ frustration was palpable, with many leaving the stadium early after the 3-1 Carabao Cup defeat to Everton just four days prior. Jaissle acknowledged the disappointment, stating he would take full responsibility for the team’s struggles and vowing to improve their performance.

Meanwhile, Everton manager David Moyes remained tight-lipped about Grealish’s availability, though he hinted there could be a path back for the winger if he addresses his disciplinary issues.
