Newcastle United delivered one of their most dominant performances of the season with a 4–1 victory over Everton at Goodison Park. The Magpies were relentless from the opening whistle, driven by a historic moment from Malick Thiaw, who recorded the fastest goal in Premier League history—striking just 52 seconds into the match.
The win lifts Newcastle to 13th place, just ahead of Everton, who now sit 14th, and gives the Magpies renewed momentum in their chase for a top-six finish.
Malick Thiaw Sets EPL Record With 52-Second Header
The match exploded into life almost immediately when Malick Thiaw rose above Everton’s defence to score a powerful header inside the opening minute.
The 52-second goal etches his name into Premier League history as the fastest ever scored.
Thiaw, who joined Newcastle from AC Milan, continues to shine in England, proving to be one of the signings of the summer.
Newcastle Dominate the First Half
Newcastle’s intensity didn’t stop there.
- In the 25th minute, Lewis Miley doubled the lead with a composed finish, capitalizing on Everton’s sloppy marking.
- Just before halftime (45’), Nick Woltemade added a third, punishing Everton’s defensive collapse and sending the visitors into the break with a commanding 3–0 advantage.
Goodison Park was stunned as Newcastle showcased pace, precision, and ruthless attacking play.
Thiaw Scores Again to Seal the Match
Malick Thiaw extended Newcastle’s lead even further in the 58th minute, scoring his second header of the match.
His aerial dominance and physical presence were too much for Everton to handle, making the scoreline 4–0 and effectively killing the game.
Everton Pull One Back but Struggle Overall
Everton managed a consolation goal in the 70th minute through Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, but it was nowhere near enough to spark a comeback.
The Toffees showed isolated attacking moments, but their defensive frailty overshadowed any positives.
What the Result Means
