Newcastle 3 - Everton 2: Cisse, Perez and Colback strikes see off struggling Toffees
NEWCASTLE came from a goal down against struggling Everton to win 3-2 and end a run of four straight defeats in all competitions.
Ayoze Perez completes comeback for Newcastle
Everton, who have now won only once in their last eight in all competitions, took a fifth-minute lead when Arouna Kone converted Seamus Coleman's cross.
It was the injury-hit Ivorian's first goal since his £6m move from Wigan in the summer of 2013 on what was the occasion of his first Premier League start for the club.
Papiss Cisse had escaped with a suspect elbow on Coleman but the Senegal striker's ninth goal of the season levelled matters after 34 minutes and Ayoze Perez put Newcastle in front six minutes after the re-start.
Jack Colback gave Alan Pardew's men a two-goal cushion with his first Newcastle goal after 68 minutes before Kevin Mirallas pulled one back for Everton six minutes from time to set up a grandstand finish.
