Everton Knock Out Newcastle to Reach Carabao Cup Quarter-Finals

Everton beat Newcastle United 3 to 1 in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup at the Hill Dickinson Stadium to advance to the quarter-finals. The home side took the lead in the 34th minute. Tyrique George's pressure forced Amar Dedic to lose the ball on the touchline. Hayden Hackney then played it to Garner, who placed his shot into the bottom corner of the net.

Shortly before half-time, the score became 2 to 0. Hackney headed in Thierno Barry's cross, scoring his first goal for the club. Barry added the third in the 69th minute with a composed finish after a quick counter-attack. Dan Burn headed in a late goal for the visitors, but it was not enough to change the result.

Before the match, Everton announced that Jack Grealish had been left out of the squad due to a disciplinary breach. The loan player from Man City was reported to have missed a training session earlier in the week.

Everton will face League Two side Fleetwood Town in the quarter-finals in December. Fleetwood caused a major upset earlier in the week by beating Arsenal. For Everton, this round represents a chance to reach a cup semi-final for the first time since 2016.
