Beijing time on February 9, 03:45, the 24th round of the Premier League, Russells and Holgate each sent a oolong ball in 2 minutes, Trippier free kick to seal the win, the local tycoon team Newcastle reversed Everton 3-1 at home, and finally escaped from the relegation zone after 2 consecutive wins.
Everton invited Lampard to coach after firing Benitez. Facing Newcastle away from home in this round, Lampard's first Premier League game back in charge was ultimately swallowed up. Everton have continued to lose four consecutive league games + six rounds without a win. Everton went six games without a win and scored a pitiful 1-pointer in a 1-1 draw away to Chelsea.
In the winter transfer window, Everton brought in five new signings, including two midfielders, Ali and Van de Beek, on loan, and two young full-backs, Mikolenko and Patterson, for €40 million. However, Lampard failed to score points in his Premier League debut at Everton.
