Malick Thiaw surpasses Foden’s Premier League record as Newcastle beat Everton 4-1 | OneFootball

Newcastle United recorded their first Premier League away victory this season, winning 4-1 at Everton Saturday evening.

Newcastle got off to a fantastic start, opening the scoring inside 55 seconds, with Malick Thiaw rising the highest to head Lewis Miley’s corner past Jordan Pickford.

His strike was the earliest Premier League goal this season, surpassing Phil Foden, who netted after 59 seconds in Manchester City’s 3-2 win over Leeds United.

It was also the earliest goal conceded by Everton at home in a league game since August 2014.

Miley doubled the visitors’ advantage, powering his shot beyond Pickford, who should have done better to keep out his effort.

The English youngster is now the second youngest Magpies player to score and assist in a league game, after Charles N’Zogbia versus Blackburn in September 2005.

Nick Woltemade gave Newcastle a three-goal cushion with a fantastic finish, lobbing the ball over Pickford to net his fifth Premier League goal.

Thiaw made it 4-0 with another header, becoming the first Newcastle player to score two headers in a league game since Georginio Wijnaldum versus Norwich in October 2015.

Thierno Barry thought he had had reduced the deficit for the hosts, only for his effort to be ruled out for handball before Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall eventually pulled one back for them.

The victory sees Newcastle rise to 11th in the standings with 18 points, same as Everton who slip to 14th.

Newcastle are back in action on Tuesday when they host Tottenham Hotspur at St.James’ Park, while Everton travel to Bournemouth.
