UNBEATEN Newcastle United defeated Everton 2-1 at St James' Park and moved into second place in the English Premier League yesterday, at least until Manchester United hosted Sunderland later in the day.
An own goal from Everton's John Heitinga after 12 minutes and a superb dipping shot from Ryan Taylor 15 minutes later gave Newcastle a comfortable cushion until Jack Rodwell headed home from a corner in the last action of the first half.
There were no further goals after the break as Newcastle extended its unbeaten league record to 11 matches since the start of the season and moved on to 25 points - three behind leader Manchester City and two ahead of United.
City was playing at Queens Park Rangers in the late match yesterday.
Everton stayed in 16th place until the later games, having lost for the fifth time in six league games.
In Germany, Nigerian forward Anthony Ujah scored his first two Bundesliga goals as struggling Mainz came from behind to beat VfB Stuttgart 3-1 in a match featuring two red cards on Friday.
Mainz, without a victory in nine outings, turned the form book inside out to defeat sixth-placed Stuttgart which was unbeaten in five games.
The home team had Eugen Polanski sent off in the 83rd and Stuttgart defender Maza was also dismissed in stoppage time.
Mainz is 15th in the table with 12 points from as many games while Stuttgart has 18, two behind Borussia Dortmund, Werder Bremen and Borussia Moenchengladbach.
Leader Bayern Munich (25 points) travels to Augsburg today.
