The match was played at Everton's new stadium, which has excellent sight lines but poor toilet facilities. Newcastle had more possession, shots, and touches in the opposition box, but failed to capitalize on their chances. Everton's first goal came when Dedic was dispossessed by George, leading to Garner scoring.

Newcastle had several chances to score before Everton opened their account, including a header from Barnes saved by Pickford and a blocked effort from Murphy. Osula had a promising chance, but Tarkowski made a last-ditch block. After Everton took the lead, they doubled their score on the stroke of half-time through Hackney. Newcastle made substitutions at halftime, introducing Joelinton, Wissa, and Elanga, but still struggled to score.

Everton sealed their win with a third goal, Barry scoring from a Dewsbury-Hall cross, after which there was no way back for Newcastle. Burn scored a consolation goal in the 88th minute. The loss was frustrating for Newcastle, as they had been expecting to reach the League Cup semi-final with a win. The match statistics showed Newcastle dominated possession and shots, but Everton were more efficient in front of goal.
