Liverpool lost to Man Utd and are tottering just above the relegation zone, while Newcastle went to Goodison and handed out a football lesson to show the Blues of Scouseland that the Geordie Boys are heading back to Europe.
Everton manager David Moyes pulled no punches, claiming he would have joined the fans in booing their team off the park.
David Moyes: "I would have booed after that performance.
"They are good players and a good team but they now need to stand up and be counted.
"We didn't start the game well and Newcastle deserved the victory, I've got no qualms about that.
"We had no real chances up until 90 minutes, we're not kidding ourselves about that.
"We then had two and we were maybe a little bit unfortunate that one hits the post and bounces back into the goalkeeper's arms and the other one I actually think was really good defending. The boy just does enough to nick it off him.
"Give Newcastle credit, they came here, stifled, made it difficult for us and did a great job away from home."
