Everton's midfielder Ross Barkley scored two late penalties to help his side demolish Newcastle 3-0 in their Premier League clash at the Goodison Park.

Everton started off their first half extremely well as midfielder Aaron Lennon opened the account for the team in the 23rd minute.

In the 88th minute, Barkley smashed a spot-kick to help his side increase their lead before making an incredible finish by converting another penalty into a goal, Goal.com reported.

With the win, Everton have now climbed up to the 11th spot, while Newcastle remain just two places above the relegation zone.
