Everton ease past Newcastle to set up Fleetwood trip after Grealish is dropped
The biggest night in Everton’s season started with 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. A quarter-final at Fleetwood Town is their prize after a clinical, committed display shattered Newcastle’s hopes of lifting the Carabao Cup for a second time in three seasons.

- Everton defeated Newcastle to reach the Carabao Cup quarter-finals.
- Goals were scored by James Garner, Hayden Hackney, and Thierno Barry for Everton.
- Jack Grealish was dropped by Everton manager David Moyes for disciplinary reasons.
- Newcastle dominated possession and had significantly more shots but failed to convert.
