WATCH: Theo Walcott Goal Gives Everton Edge Over Newcastle

Everton got their first win since March as they managed to beat Newcastle United 1-0 courtesy of a Theo Walcott strike.

In a game where chances were sparse, Walcott managed to finish off a well-executed Everton counterattack to make sure Rafa Benitez's 100th game in charge of Newcastle ended in defeat.

The first chance of the game fell to the hosts. Newcastle failed to clear their lines, but thankfully for Benitez's side Tosun couldn't capitalise and his scuffed shot went wide of the post, and the Magpies were let off the hook.

In a half where chances were few and far between, Everton had a big chance to break the deadlock.
