Everton beat Newcastle again as Barry and Dewsbury-Hall shine at St James' Park
Everton claimed a 1-0 win over Newcastle United at St James' Park, with Thierno Barry's goal proving the difference and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall once again central to the performance.
The Liverpool Echo covers the game from several angles. One report details a flashpoint involving Barry and Newcastle defender Fabian Schar, who was left bloodied after a tangle with the Everton striker, with VAR subsequently clearing the incident (Liverpool Echo). Another Echo piece focuses on the quality of the display, suggesting Dewsbury-Hall ran rings around a Newcastle player valued at £48m as Barry continued his good form in front of goal (Liverpool Echo). A third Echo article quotes David Moyes saying Barry "could have had 15 or 16 goals" this season, underlining just how highly the manager rates his finishing instincts (Liverpool Echo). A fourth notes this was Barry's eighth goal of the campaign and that it secured Everton's second win over Newcastle in the space of four days, with the dressing room reaction said to speak volumes about the mood among the squad (Liverpool Echo).
The scale of the achievement is echoed elsewhere. BBC Sport carries reaction from Everton supporter Sarah Halpin, who praised Barry as "fantastic" and also credited Dewsbury-Hall, reflecting on two wins over Newcastle in the space of a week (BBC Sport). Read Everton reports that Moyes went further in his post-match remarks, stating that Dewsbury-Hall deserves an England call-up after being named player of the match in the 1-0 win (Read Everton). The Liverpool Echo's separate interview piece has Dewsbury-Hall himself discussing Barry's performance and sending his own message about England recognition following the Monday night victory (Liverpool Echo).
Across the board there is clear agreement: Everton won 1-0 at St James' Park, Barry scored the only goal, and Dewsbury-Hall was the standout performer drawing praise from his manager, teammate and fans alike. The only real difference in emphasis is that some outlets zero in on the Barry-Schar incident and VAR check (Liverpool Echo), while others focus purely on the quality of the Everton display and the England talk surrounding Dewsbury-Hall (Read Everton) (Liverpool Echo).
For Everton supporters, this result over Newcastle twice in quick succession will be seen as a real marker of progress, with Barry's continued scoring form and Dewsbury-Hall's influence giving real encouragement as the season continues.
