Newcastle United forward Miguel Almiron scored a superb first- half goal to secure a 1-0 win over toothless Everton in their Premier League fixture at St James' Park on Wednesday. Paraguay international Almiron curled a shot from the edge of the box into the top corner just past the half-hour mark as the sixth-placed home side claimed a fourth win of the campaign and moved to 18 points from 11 games. It was a third defeat in succession for Everton, who had striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin in the starting lineup for the first time this season but lacked the quality on the ball to trouble the hosts.
