All down to Seamus.
Not quite. Actually Tom Cleverley looped a header into the Newcastle goal after Rob Elliott failed to get enough purchase on a last-gasp Everton corner.
However it was another Republic of Ireland international whose fingerprints were all over Everton’s 1-0 win at St James’ Park.
You know when you’re half watching a Premier League match and half watching a game of rugby and you’re relying on the commentators to tell you what is going on?
Every time we tuned our ears into the BT Sport commentary it seemed Seamus Coleman was doing something awesome – goal-saving tackle, 70-yard run, killer through ball…
Or as this Twitter user put it.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak, Seamus Coleman, squeak…"#MichaelOwenTit

But it seems plenty of folk were taken with the Donegal native’s all-action display for the Toffees.
It's hard to not like Seamus Coleman's game. Cracking player.
