Newcastle ends losing streak

Newcastle ended its fivematch losing streak in the Premier League as two second-half goals by Callum Wilson earned a 2-0 win at Everton on Saturday to ease the pressure on manager Steve Bruce.

Wilson headed in a rightwing corner in the 73rd minute before slotting home a finish on the counterattack in stoppage time to hand

Newcastle its first victory in the league since Dec. 12.

Two points in the intervening nine games had plunged Newcastle toward the relegation zone and although it is still in fifth-to-last place, Bruce will be pleased not just with the result but the nature of the performance at Goodison Park.

It was only Everton's second league defeat in 10 games stretching back to Nov. 28.
