Everton cruise past Newcastle after Jack Grealish banished from squad

A big night for Everton featured a big call from David Moyes and demanded a big performance from his players. With the exception of Jack Grealish, they did not let him down. Fleetwood Town await in the Carabao Cup quarter-final after Everton shattered Newcastle’s hopes of a fifth consecutive place in the last eight with a clinical and committed display in front of the prime minister Andy Burnham.

James Garner, Hayden Hackney and Thierno Barry were all on target as Moyes’s side exploited Newcastle’s defensive weakness and resisted sustained spells of pressure from the visitors. Jordan Pickford was to the fore against his old adversaries.
