Newcastle 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.

After the game, the Everton boss told BT Sport: "If anyone thought this was going to be easy because we beat Brentford in the cup, it was never going to be that. It puts a real sharp focus on it for us, but I've got real belief in the squad but we must build that confidence.

"Where we saw confidence go through the roof on Saturday and in not much time, we saw it go down the opposite way, and that's work for us to do."

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.
