Malick Thiaw scored the fastest goal of the Premier League season after 55 seconds as Newcastle United recorded a first away win of the campaign with a 4-1 success over Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Saturday.
Lewis Miley and Nick Woltemade added two more in the first half as Newcastle led 3-0 at the break, before Thiaw bagged his second as the visitors took advantage of more poor defending from their hosts.
Newcastle move into 11th in the table with 18 points from 13 games, while Everton also have 18 points but are in 14th place having conceded four goals for the first time at their new stadium on the banks of the River Mersey, reports Super Sport.
Though Everton rallied, initially, after going behind after just 55 seconds, the hosts only had themselves to blame for Newcastle’s second goal.

Not only did Everton defenders fail to clear their lines following some pinball inside the box, Pickford failed to keep out Miley’s effort despite it being hit straight at him.
David Moyes, unlike a beaming Howe, looked understandably furious on the touchline, but the Everton manager’s evening got even worse before half-time when Nick Woltemade added a third.
Tino Livramento clipped the ball down the line and Anthony Elanga hooked it across to the unmarked German, who nonchalantly lobbed Pickford from inside the area to score his seventh goal of the season.
Newcastle grabbed a fourth before the hour mark when Lewis Hall’s teasing cross was headed in by Thiaw at the back post.
There was still time for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to pull one back for Everton after the midfielder brilliantly controlled James Tarkowski’s ball over the line before slotting past goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.
