Sensational stuff in Spain where Gary Neville's Valencia trail 7-0 to Barcelona in the Copa del Rey semi-final first leg.
It isn't over yet...

Ben Dalton: Moussa Sissoko is completely undeserving of that Moussa Sissoko statue they've been putting on the pitch for #NUFC, external this season
I'm taking it there isn't a real statue there...

Everton 3-0 Newcastle
A miserable night for Newcastle.
Everton were head and shoulders the better team.
Ross Barkley
Now that is just taking the mick.
Outrageous from Ross Barkley. The England man strolls up to the ball on the penalty spot and dinks it into the net, with goalkeeper Rob Elliot looking very, very foolish.
Brilliant.

Jamaal Lascelles is sent off for tripping Ross Barkley in the penalty area.

Arouna Kone is lying flat on his back after shooting horribly wide and over, after a through ball from Ross Barkley.
Newcastle want to go home...

Dan Bell: Taxi for McClaren, out of his depth.
Craig Spittle: Why is McClaren so bombproof? Such a parlous, perilous position for Newcastle yet he's apparently secure in his role. Strange
Superbayrton: Does make you wonder who Newcastle need to sign to stay up... Millions spent and no real improvement.

Ross Barkley is loving it.
The Everton man is in the mood for more as he drives forward and sees his shot deflected just wide.

What a daft challenge.
Aaron Lennon cuts inside from the right and, inside the penalty area, Rolando Aarons clumsily trips him. Clear penalty.
Everton 1-0 Newcastle
It may not have been a classic but the one standout of the evening so far is the performance of Ross Barkley.
The Everton man has been head and shoulders better than any other attacker out there.
Are you watching Mr Hodgson?
At the other end Aleksandar Mitrovic tries to get on the end of a long ball but doesn't.

Everton 1-0 Newcastle
Without wanting to curse anyone here.
Newcastle do not look like scoring and nor do Everton...
Seven goals in the last seven minutes then?

Not the best is it Jamie...
Everton 1-0 Nwcastle
Everton fans will be hoping striker Romelu Lukaku isn't badly injured.
He was struggling with a dodgy back in the first half and was replaced by Arouna Kone at the break.
Without him, they look pretty toothless in attack.
