Everton reach the quarterfinal stage

David Moyes said talking about Everton in the quarterfinals of the Carabao Cup sounds good after his team beat Newcastle United 3-1 on Thursday.

The Toffees are now one of eight teams left in the competition. They will play League Two side Fleetwood Town for a place in the semifinals. Everton have not reached the last four of this tournament since the 2015 to 2016 season.

Big clubs like Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United and Aston Villa have already been knocked out. That leaves Everton with a real chance to win their first major trophy since the FA Cup in 1995.

Moyes said after the match that reaching this stage is very pleasing for the team.

Squad performance despite Grealish absence

Goals from James Garner, Hayden Hackney and Thierno Barry secured the win for Everton.

The team played without Jack Grealish. The winger was left out due to a breach of club discipline. Moyes supported the decision made by the club and chose not to comment further on the matter.

Instead, Moyes praised the values and character of his players. He said the squad accepted the standards set for them and did a brilliant job during the match.

Newcastle left frustrated after defeat

Newcastle United manager Matthias Jaissle expressed his disappointment following the result. His side had beaten Crystal Palace 2-0 on Sunday, but they could not build on that win.

The opening goal came when Amar Dedic was pressured by Tyrique George and made a poor clearance, allowing Garner to score. Newcastle also had a penalty appeal turned down by referee Farai Hallam when Harvey Barnes went down in the box. Everton scored their second goal shortly after that decision.

Jaissle said his team lacked a clinical edge when it counted most and gave away easy chances to the opposition.
