Republic of Ireland international Jake O’Brien was shown a red card as Everton shot themselves in the foot at their the Hill Dickinson Stadium in a 2-1 defeat to Bournemouth.<\/p>\n

Iliman Ndiaye’s first-half penalty had fans pondering an unexpected run at European football as victory would have lifted them into sixth place.<\/p>\n

However, two failures from Thierno Barry both from six yards were to prove costly as they self-destructed in eight second-half minutes, conceding twice and having O’Brien sent off with just over 20 minutes to go for a professional foul on Amine Adli.<\/p>\n

Uncontested headers from \u00a325million January signing Rayan, atoning for conceding the penalty with a second goal in successive starts, and Amine Adli would have infuriated Toffees manager David Moyes.<\/p>\n

His side have registered just one victory at home since 8 November and have now lost more games (five) than they have won (four) on the banks of the River Mersey, form which will make European football improbable.<\/p>\n

So instead of being able to gloat over neighbours Liverpool, they are again looking over their shoulder with the Cherries, Newcastle, Sunderland and Fulham all within striking distance.<\/p>\n

\nJacob Ramsey celebrates the winning goal for Newcastle<\/p>\n

Jacob Ramsey fired Newcastle to a precious 2-1 Premier League win to pile the pressure on Thomas Frank and increase Tottenham’s relegation fears.<\/p>\n

Spurs’ sorry domestic form coupled with an 11-player list of absentees had heightened concerns that the team were in a survival battle and this latest abject display will only serve as more evidence that the north London club are in a crisis situation.<\/p>\n

Malick Thiaw’s stoppage-time effort ensured Newcastle held a deserved half-time lead and after Tottenham were booed off, home fans chanted for old boss Mauricio Pochettino.<\/p>\n

A response followed and Archie Gray levelled in the 64th minute, but Ramsey swept home four minutes later to inflict a fifth defeat in nine matches on Tottenham, who have won only two of their last 17 league matches.<\/p>\n

Frank faced “you’re getting sacked in the morning” chants from his own supporters ahead of full-time, with Spurs’ ownership left with a big decision to make over the head coach position with 12 days until the next fixture at home to rivals Arsenal.<\/p>\n
