Everton progressed to the Carabao Cup quarter-finals with a 3-1 victory over Newcastle at the Hill Dickinson Stadium. James Garner, Hayden Hackney, and Thierno Barry scored for the Toffees, while Dan Burn netted a late consolation for Newcastle. The win sets up a last-eight tie against Fleetwood Town in December.
The hosts took the lead on 34 minutes when Tyrique George's pressure forced an error, allowing Hackney to set up Garner, who finished with a neat finish into the bottom corner. Just before half-time, Hackney doubled the advantage by guiding home from Barry's cross, marking his first goal for the club. Barry made it 3-0 midway through the second half, finishing a clinical counter-attack after receiving a pass from Kieran Dewsbury-Hall.
Newcastle pulled one back late through Dan Burn's header, but the damage was already done. The result offers Everton a genuine chance of reaching a first cup semi-final since 2016. Fleetwood Town await in the quarter-finals after their dramatic win over Arsenal earlier in the week.
