Aaron Lennon’s first-half goal and a pair of late Ross Barkley penalties saw Everton secure a 3-0 victory over Newcastle United and end a run of five Premier League games without a win.

Lennon scored after 23 minutes of a game that Everton did not have to be at their best to win, such is the dearth of confidence in the Newcastle team this season.

The former Tottenham winger was brought down by Rolando Aarons to allow Barkley to convert from the spot for the first time with two minutes left.

Barkley then kept his cool again from 12 yards in the 94th minute after being upended by Jamaal Lascelles, who subsequently received his marching orders for a second yellow card.

The performance of Lennon overshadowed the debut of Newcastle’s £12 million signing Andros Townsend and manager Steve McClaren’s spending spree in the January transfer window showed few signs of improving their Premier League fortunes, with his side remaining third bottom.
