Newcastle out of bottom three as Lampard loses first PL game

Newcastle have moved out of the bottom three after a 3-1 win against similarly relegation-threatened Everton, with Frank Lampard losing his first Premier League game as manager.

The first-half goals were scored in quite extraordinary fashion. Jamal Lascelles (36) and Mason Holgate (37) scored respective own goals within 107 seconds of one another - the shortest gap between both sides netting an own goal in a match in Premier League history.

But Newcastle took control of the tie in the second half. Ryan Fraser scrambled Newcastle ahead in the 56th minute before a superb Kieran Trippier free-kick 10 minutes from time added a late third.

Lampard did hand debuts to Dele Alli and Donny van de Beek, but both were ineffectual as Everton remain in 16th on 19 points.

Eddie Howe's side have registered back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time this season and move into the relative safety of 17th on 18 points.

In a sign of what was to come, Everton looked nervous in the opening minutes with Alli making a sooner-than-expected debut as Demarai Gray limped off with an injury. It was Newcastle who soon saw an opening as Joelinton scuffed an effort goalwards, but Jordan Pickford was down low to make the save. Jonjo Shelvey was arguably lucky to not be sent off just after, chopping Anthony Gordon down in midfield. However, referee Anthony Taylor only produced a yellow card.

Despite another enforced substitution - Yerry Mina replaced by Jarrad Branthwaite - Everton took the lead just after. A free-kick was delivered into the area, which Holgate tried to sweep home. Matt Targett cleared it off the line, but the rebound hit Lascelles in the goal mouth and went into the back of the net.

It looked to be a huge blow for Newcastle,
