Newcastle United claimed their first away win in the Premier League since April - beating Everton 4-1.

Alan Shearer knows a thing or two about scoring goals, eh?

Well, he’s given one of Newcastle United’s scorers his goalscoring seal of approval. The Newcastle United and Premier League record goalscorer took to social media in the aftermath of the Magpies’ surprise 4-1 win at Everton’s Hill Dickinson Stadium - a result which saw them record back-to-back top flight wins, and their first away from home since April in the competition - praise Eddie Howe’s men’s display.

Malick Thiaw opened the scoring for United within a minute, before Lewis Miley smashed past Jordan Pickford for 2-0. Nick Woltemade then worked some magic after an Anthony Elanga assist, before Thiaw added a fourth, prior to a late Toffees consolation.

And it’s fair to say Shearer was a big fan of one of Newcastle’s goal heroes on the day.

Shearer was active on social media throughout the clash, and seemed to love what he saw from Newcastle. When Thiaw nodded in the first he said on Twitter/X: “Boooooooooommmmm. What a start.”

When the big German defender added the Magpies’ fourth he broke into song, of sorts. He said: “THIAW THIAW THIAW.”

Then as Geordie Lewis Miley hammered home the second, right through Mackem Jordan Pickford, Shearer said: “Yessssss @LewisMiley1.”

But it was what he said about Woltemade that carries the most weight, given he scored 260 goals in the Premier League himself.

He said: “Now that’s a very good finish Big Nick.”

High praise, indeed for the 23-year-old summer signing, who now has five in the top flight, seven in total for Newcastle United this season.

Newcastle United ended their away day blues with a 4-1 win victory over Everton on their ever visit to the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Malick Thiaw headed the Magpies in front less than a minute in before Lewis Miley doubled the lead in the 25th minute. Nick Woltemade made it 3-0 on the brink of half-time before Thiaw added a fourth near the hour-mark.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall pulled one back for the Toffees in the 69th minute as Newcastle recorded a first win on the road in the Premier League since April.

Howe made six changes from the 2-1 defeat in Marseille, with Aaron Ramsdale’s inclusion in place of the injured Nick Pope the headline news.

Lewis Hall, Lewis Miley, Joelinton, Anthony Elanga and Nick Woltemade were brought in place of Fabian Schar, Sandro Tonali, Joe Willock, Jacob Murphy and Anthony Gordon.

There were just 55 seconds on the clock when Malick Thiaw headed home Miley’s in-swinging corner. The corner was awarded after Jordan Pickford made a good save to deny Elanga.

Everton dominated possession from then on but that didn’t stop the Magpies from doubling their lead through Miley. The midfielder’s shot was straight at Pickford but the former Sunderland man fumbled the ball into his net.

That allowed Newcastle to take control and they added a third just before half-time when Woltemade lobbed the ball over Pickford after being found in space by Elanga.

Thiaw added his second and United’s fourth in the 58th minute when he headed in Lewis Hall’s cross. Dewsbury-Hall later pulled one back for the hosts.
