Anthony Elanga came close to scoring in the 66th minute. He scrambled to the far post, but the ball danced along the goal line behind Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.
Early in the second half, Everton took the lead through Thierno Barry. It proved to be the only goal at St James' Park.
Elanga was injured in mid-September and was out for over a month. Against Everton, the 24-year-old was substituted in the 76th minute.
