It's a huge disappointment for Newcastle, for Matthias Jaissle, for the fans, but let's not forget that football comes thick and fast, and they have a game Monday night ironically against Everton.

So, there will be an element of emotion and revenge desired from Newcastle for Monday night but that performance from Everton had such much authority and desire attached to it, and they are just going to want to repeat that performance tonight.

After a promising start to the season, Newcastle have now won just two of their last six matches in all competitions.

Will Matthias Jaissle be given enough time to turn things around at St James' Park?

We said at the start of the game that progression for both teams is so key for both of their fan bases, and I think this is exactly what Everton fan's needed. Something to cling on to.

And with the greatest respect for Fleetwood, Everton have a tasty looking cup tie in the quarter-finals. All of these fans will be believe they can push on, and even dream of making Wembley.

Everton overcame the absence of Jack Grealish to beat Newcastle United and book a Carabao Cup quarter-final tie at League Two Fleetwood Town.

The England winger, 31, was made unavailable for selection due to a breach of club discipline, which is understood to arise from an unauthorised absence from training.

The Toffees, however, cruised past Newcastle without the on-loan signing from Manchester City after scoring two first-half goals.

James Garner showed great vision from just inside the box to put them ahead in the 34th minute.

That came moments after captain James Tarkowski had produced an outstanding challenge to deny William Osula a goal at the other end.

Everton, cheered on by Prime Minister Andy Burnham at Hill Dickinson Stadium, doubled their lead shortly before half-time through Hayden Hackney's finish - his first goal for the Toffees since joining from Middlesbrough for £16m in the summer.

David Moyes' men added a third in the 69th minute through Thierno Barry's seventh goal of the season after a neat finish from Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's cross.

Newcastle scored a late consolation through Dan Burn's 89th-minute header which led to a fracas and Tarkowski shoving Joelinton to the ground.

The pair, along with Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, were all booked for their reactions.

Newcastle had started well with Harvey Barnes and Fabian Schar forcing Pickford into saves.

But the 2025 winners crumbled after falling behind.

Everton, who have never won the League Cup and not won a major trophy since an FA Cup triumph in 1995, will visit Fleetwood, who are 18th in League Two, but caused the shock of the last 16 by beating Premier League champions Arsenal on Tuesday night.

Newcastle will have the opportunity on Monday to exact instant revenge when they host Everton in the Premier League at St James' Park (20:00 GMT).

Everton were absolutely fantastic. Tonight you could just tell as soon as the game kicked off there was a huge zip to the way that they played. They had that quality that shown through.

Fleetwood Town v Everton

Manchester City v Bradford City

Crystal Palace v Sunderland

Liverpool v Bournemouth

That will do for Everton.

The Blues are through to the League Cup quarter-finals for the first time in three years after beating fellow Premier League opposition.

What an opportunity awaits Everton, who will face League Two side Fleetwood Town in the next round.

Dan Burn rises the highest against O'Brien winning the header and scoring, but it's what happens after.

The fans here behind the goal have got more than what they have bargained for because they have just got to see a scrap live between Burn and Pickford. Joelinton gets involved, then Tarkowski pulls him away.

Three additional minutes for Newcastle to try and stage a remarkable comeback and keep their League Cup campaign alive.

There was another scuffle in the aftermath of the goal, but it was almost impossible to see what happened and who was to blame.

In the end, Jordan Pickford, James Tarkowski, Dan Burn and Joelinton were all booked.

Every pass between Everton's players is being greeted with oles from the home supporters.

It's one way to taunt the few Newcastle fans who remain in the stadium.

Everton have been excellent all over the park tonight. They have made the game exactly how they wanted it. Aggressive, scruffy, high energy and high tempo, but they have also had the composure in front of goal when they needed it as well.

It has taken the best part of 80 minutes, but things are finally kicking off in the Everton penalty area.

Both Fabian Schar and Vitaliy Mykolenko are shown yellow cards for their parts in a scuffle inside the box.

Double substitution for Everton as Charly Alcaraz and Christian Norgaard replace Tyler Dibling and Tyrique George for the final 15 minutes.
