3:54Newcastle's late response and the goalmouth confrontation that follows close the highlights.

The loose ball falls to Hayden Hackney inside the box, and he slots it in before the interval. His first Everton goal gives Newcastle a much harder task in a Carabao Cup tie that finishes with the Toffees heading into the quarter-finals.

Sky Sports Football's highlights have passed 600,000 views after an opening day nearly twenty times the channel's usual for regular videos. The sequence leading to Hackney's finish has also caught viewers' attention: several single out the referee for letting the attack continue rather than stopping play after a collision.

James Garner provides the opening breakthrough with a strike from distance, then sends through the ball that Thierno Barry converts after the break. At the other end, James Tarkowski's sliding block and Jordan Pickford's saves give Everton's attacking moments their foundation. Newcastle keep creating chances, even with the match slipping away.

The comments extend beyond the football. Alongside discussion of Hackney and Barry's delivery, the most-liked response questions Sky's television coverage, including its presentation and lack of post-match analysis. The comment section was almost twelve times as busy as a usual first day.

Dan Burn eventually heads one back for Newcastle, but the highlights don't end with a quiet reset: a crowded confrontation inside Everton's goalmouth brings the referee back into the centre of the action.
