Newcastle United 0 Everton 1

Newcastle's Premiership home goal famine stretched to three games as prodigal son Paul Gascoigne played a key role in their downfall.

United old boy Gazza, making his first competitive appearance at St. James' Park for 12 years, capped a hard-working performance in a well-organised Everton side, by starting the move for the Merseysiders' 80th-minute winner.

The former England midfielder released Gary Naysmith down the left with a delightful back-flick and when the substitute delivered a low cross to the far post, Kevin Campbell fired home from close range.
