In the early morning of February 9, Beijing time, the 24th round of the Premier League was in full swing, and the two teams fighting for relegation, Newcastle and Everton, met in a narrow road. Trailing by one goal, Newcastle came 3-1 to take two long-lost wins and rush out of the relegation zone for the first time in the season.
Newcastle has a history of over 100 years, and this season they have waited for the Saudi consortium to take over and become the richest club in football today.
This winter window, Newcastle became a money-smashing machine, 42.1 million to Guimarães, 30 million to sign Chris Wood, 30 million to dan Bourne and Trippier, free loan to Taggart, spending 120 million euros to strengthen. The 24-year-old Guimarães said the choice of Newcastle was optimistic about the future of the Magpies, and the team will be able to surpass Arsenal in a few years, with the goal of reaching the Champions League or even winning the title in the future.
With strong reinforcements joining, Newcastle's momentum is indeed different. In the 37th minute, Newcastle defender Russells swung himself in to give Everton a goal and trailed 1-0 at home.
But just one minute later, Trippier's corner kick was crossed and Russells made up for it, which also caused Holgate to swing himself, and the score became 1-1! In just 1 minute, the two teams scored the oolong ball, which is definitely a Premier League spectacle. At this point, Everton has unfortunately become the king of the oolong ball in the history of the Premier League.
In the 56th minute, Saint-Maximin's cross was met by Ryan Fraser and Newcastle overtook. This season, Saint-Maximin has contributed five goals and three assists, accounting for 1/3 of the team's goals.
In the 80th minute, Newcastle won a set-piece in front of the penalty area, Trippier staged a 100-step walk through Yang, a world wave straight to the dead corner, and scored the first goal since returning to the Premier League, Newcastle sealed the victory 3-1.
Newcastle was reveling across the board, winning 1 and drawing twice against Everton twice this season, scoring four points against relegation opponents. They also have a long-lost two-game winning streak in the Premier League, the last time they did so was on 12 December 2020, 425 days ago.
The 3-1 also helped Newcastle rise to 17th in the table. You know, this is the first time that Newcastle has gotten rid of the Premier League relegation zone this season, which can be said to be an injection of relegation.
Next, Newcastle's opponents are Villa, West Ham United and Brentford, as long as they play the next 3 games, they are likely to stay in the Premier League.
