\"EPL:<\/p>\n

Everton increased the pressure on under-fire Newcastle boss Matthias Jaissle as Thierno Barry sealed a 1-0 win at St James\u2019 Park on Monday.<\/p>\n

Barry netted early in the second half to lift Everton into seventh place in the Premier League and leave Newcastle languishing in 13th.<\/p>\n

Newcastle midfielder Jacob Ramsey was sent off in the final seconds for a crude foul on Harrison Armstrong.<\/p>\n

It was a fitting end to another painful defeat for Saudi-funded Newcastle, who have lost four of their past five matches in all competitions, winning just twice in their last seven.<\/p>\n

Jaissle and his players were booed off at half-time and again after the final whistle as the German coach begins to feel the heat in his first season in charge.<\/p>\n

Hired following Eddie Howe\u2019s surprise close-season exit, former Red Bull Salzburg and Al-Ahli boss Jaissle has struggled to make an impact on Tyneside.<\/p>\n

Jaissle desperately needs a win at fellow strugglers Fulham on Saturday to ease the mounting scrutiny.<\/p>\n

Bizarrely, Newcastle have lost 22 of their last 33 Premier League matches on a Monday and many of their supporters headed for the exits well before the final whistle on a miserable rainy night.<\/p>\n

Barry\u2019s eighth goal this season, including four in his last six matches, gave Everton their second win against Newcastle in the space of five days following their 3-1 victory in the League Cup fourth round on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Everton ended their run of two successive league defeats after losing against Arsenal and Chelsea.<\/p>\n

It was Everton\u2019s first away league win since February 28 when they took three points on their previous visit to Newcastle.<\/p>\n

Jack Grealish was absent from the Everton squad for a second successive game after being axed for the Newcastle match last week due to a \u201cbreach of club discipline\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Ramsey sees red \u2013<\/h2>\n

The on-loan Manchester City winger, who has been criticised for his off-field behaviour for much of his colourful career, reportedly skipped training prior to the League Cup clash.<\/p>\n

Everton said he was \u201cnot match fit\u201d for the rematch with the Magpies, but his team coped just fine without him.<\/p>\n

Newcastle made a lively start and went close when Harvey Barnes fired just wide before Joelinton was narrowly off target from 25 yards.<\/p>\n

But chances were at a premium for both sides in a scrappy first half more notable for perspiration than inspiration.<\/p>\n

Everton\u2019s opener four minutes after half-time was in keeping with the grimy fare that preceded it.<\/p>\n

Newcastle\u2019s dismal marking let in Tyrique George for a shot that drew a weak save from Lukas Hornicek.<\/p>\n

Hornicek could only push it straight into the path of Barry for a simple tap-in that survived a lengthy VAR check for offside.<\/p>\n

It was a chance so easy that even the notoriously erratic Barry couldn\u2019t fail to hit the target, although Newcastle were aggrieved by the VAR decision to let it stand.<\/p>\n

Fabian Schar wasted a good opportunity to equalise when he blazed wide.<\/p>\n

And Jaissle\u2019s men came within a whisker of levelling through Anthony Elanga, whose close-range shot clipped the post and rolled along the goalline before Everton scrambled it clear.<\/p>\n

Summing up their inconsistent display, it took 86 minutes for Newcastle to finally register a shot on target and even then Yoane Wissa\u2019s effort was routine for Pickford.<\/p>\n

Wissa did manage to force a better save from Pickford in stoppage time.<\/p>\n

But Ramsey saw red for two bookings in the space of 60 seconds to complete Newcastle\u2019s misery.<\/p>\n
