Everton sealed Uefa Cup football as defender Joleon Lescott continued his remarkable goalscoring season.
Lescott volleyed home his 10th goal in all competitions to set up a comfortable win over Newcastle.
Yakubu headed Everton into a first-half lead, which was cancelled out by Michael Owen’s penalty.
After Lescott had restored Everton’s lead, Yakubu sealed victory with his second goal, slotting home The Toffees’ first penalty of the season.
The end of the season arrived at the right time for two teams whose resources were stretched even more by injury.
