Everton secured a place in the League Cup quarter-finals with a convincing 3-1 victory over Newcastle United here at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Thursday, setting up a last-eight meeting with fourth-tier side Fleetwood.

David Moyes’s men took control of the last-16 tie through James Garner’s first-half opener in the 34th minute. The midfielder found the far corner after being set up by Hayden Hackney.

Hackney then doubled Everton’s advantage just before half-time, finishing a swift counter-attack with a well-timed volley after Thierno Barry delivered a cross into the six-yard box.

Newcastle Manager Matthias Jaissle introduced three substitutes at the break in an attempt to turn the game around, but Everton remained in control.

Barry effectively sealed the victory in the 69th minute, firing home from close range following Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s cross to register his seventh goal of the season.

Dan Burn headed home a late consolation in the 88th minute, but Newcastle could not prevent Everton from ending their three-match winless run. Everton will travel to Fleetwood in the week commencing December 14TH, with the League One side having stunned Premier League champions Arsenal on penalties after a 1-1 draw.
