Premier League | Everton beat Newcastle to climb out of relegation zone

Liverpool (UK), Dec 8: Late goals from Dwight McNeil, Abdoulaye Doucoure and Beto earned Everton a 3-0 win as they punished Newcastle United’s defensive mistakes at a raucous Goodison Park.

The win sees Everton leapfrog Luton Town and move out of the relegation zone. Without the 10-point deduction, a sanction the Club has officially appealed, it would have seen Sean Dyche's side climb into the top half of the Premier League table.

For the second time in the space of five days, McNeil's "paintbrush" left foot set the Blues on their way to victory 11 minutes from the end. Doucoure's fifth strike of the campaign doubled the lead seven minutes later.
