Newcastle United recorded their fourth successive Premier League win with a 2-0 victory at West Bromwich Albion and Tottenham Hotspur’s home misery continued in a 2-1 loss to Stoke City on Sunday.

Everton came from behind and survived a late onslaught from Sunderland to win a hard-fought point in a 1-1 draw at the Stadium of Light. After a dismal start to the season, goals from Ayoze Perez and Fabricio Coloccini ensured Newcastle’s recent resurgence under their previously beleaguered manager Alan Pardew continued at the Hawthorns.

Perez scored his third goal in three games with a sublime backheel from a Daryl Janmaat cross to put the visitors ahead on the stroke of halftime.

Netherlands right back Janmaat then crossed for defender Coloccini to double Newcastle’s lead after 62 minutes with a close-range header.

“It was a very disciplined, strong performance which was highlighted by an outstanding goal from Ayoze Perez,” Pardew told the BBC.

“You need special moments like that in the Premier League.”

Newcastle are now seventh in the table on 16 points from 11 games, a remarkable turnaround for a team who did not record a win until last month. “We are up the league where a club of this size should be,” Pardew added.

Tottenham’s fourth home defeat in six league games once again followed a Europa League match on Thursday.

Having won at Asteras Tripolis three days ago, the rigours of juggling continental and domestic competition again proved too much for the north London side against a Stoke side who had previously won just once on the road this season.
