# Everton player ratings v Newcastle: Dewsbury-Hall superb in away win

**Everton secured their first away Premier League win of the season as Thierno Barry’s second-half goal earned a deserved 1-0 victory over Newcastle at St James’ Park.**

David Moyes’ side followed Thursday’s cup victory with [another victory over Newcastle](https://readeverton.com/newcastle-0-1-everton-match-report-thierno-barry/), with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall outstanding and Jarrad Branthwaite impressing on his return.

## Everton player ratings v Newcastle

**Jordan Pickford – 8**

Well protected for long periods but produced a crucial late save from Yoane Wissa when [Everton](https://readeverton.com/) needed him.

**Jake O’Brien – 7**

Another solid display. Defended his side well and nearly added a second after the break.

**James Tarkowski – 8**

Excellent at the heart of the defence. Made an important clearance after Anthony Elanga’s effort struck the post and travelled across goal.

**Jarrad Branthwaite – 8**

A strong return after completing concussion protocols. Dominant defensively and also caused Newcastle problems at set-pieces.

**Vitalii Mykolenko – 7**

Quietly effective on the left and played his part in restricting Newcastle’s attacking threat.

**James Garner – 8**

Another accomplished midfield performance. Worked tirelessly, used the ball intelligently and helped Everton control long periods.

**Harrison Armstrong – 7**

Brought energy to midfield and should perhaps have scored before half-time after good work from Dewsbury-Hall.

**Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall – 9 – MOTM**

The outstanding player on the pitch. Creative, energetic and repeatedly involved in Everton’s best moments.

**Merlin Röhl – 7**

Worked hard without attracting too much attention and gave Everton useful balance.

**Tyrique George – 7**

Direct and increasingly influential. His low shot was spilt by Lukas Hornicek for Barry’s winner.

**Thierno Barry – 7**

Missed a good first-half opportunity but was exactly where Everton needed him for the winner. Another important goal after also scoring in [Thursday’s 3-1 Carabao Cup victory](https://readeverton.com/everton-newcastle-carabao-cup-match-report/).

### Substitutes

**Brennan Johnson – 6**

Helped Everton manage the closing stages.

**Michael Keane – 6**

Added defensive security late on.

**Hayden Hackney – N/A**

Introduced too late to rate.
