Malick Thiaw scored a brace for the Magpies, with Lewis Miley and Nick Woltemade also on target.

Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe hailed their first away win of the Premier League season as a “big step forward” after the most comfortable of 4-1 victories at Everton.

Malick Thiaw scored the fastest goal of the season after just 55 seconds, and Lewis Miley and Nick Woltemade essentially put the game beyond a lacklustre Everton in the first half.

Thiaw added his second after the break before Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s goal-of-the-game consolation.

Having not enjoyed a league victory since April 7, it was no surprise to see the scenes at the end with players celebrating in front of the travelling support.

“That was really important as we haven’t had that feeling enough or at all,” said Howe.
