Everton 1-4 Newcastle: What Howe and Woltemade said

Newcastle manager Eddie Howe speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "It was a massive win for us, first away win of the season. We have been chasing that win, and it was elusive so far, but that was a big moment today. I'm so pleased that the players won, so I didn't have to talk about the away form today. We scored goals, which we haven't done regularly enough away from home. We looked fresh, and we made some tactical tweaks.

On defender Malick Thiaw scoring two goals: "Big goals, the first one is a great ball from Lewis Miley, who I thought played really well today, and he got his head to it, and the second one is a great ball from Lewis Hall. So goals from different sources, two set plays, but I thought we looked a goal threat all day. Nick [Woltemade] took his goal well, which was good for him to be back on the scoresheet, and we could have got more."

On back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time this season: "That's the key, back-to-back wins is everything and beating Man City gave us a huge confidence lift, and this one today will give us a lift."

On injured goalkeeper Nick Pope: "He is due to have a scan in the next few days to gather the extent of his injury. Delighted with Aaron [Ramsdale] today, I thought he came and did really well, so fingers crossed Nick's [injury] is not too serious."

On today being his 48th birthday: "Well, I'm not happy being 48, that's for sure! But I can enjoy the moment and the day, and it's a really important win for us."

Striker Nick Woltemade speaking to Sky Sports on his goal: "It was a good counter, and Anthony [Elanga] played a good ball to me. I was a bit lucky that it went in."

On adapting to the Premier League: "Really easy transition, the guys welcomed us really well, and the fans make it feel like home already. It is a nice feeling for us. I think I can improve my game, but I score goals, which is the most important things for a striker. To get a good feeling at a new club, especially in a new league, I am really happy about it."
