Newcastle defender Emil Krafth says they must become more ruthless in front of the goal.
Newcastle still have hopes of qualifying for Europe.
Krafth told ChronicleLive: "We were looking to win the Everton game because we knew it was a massive game.
"I think we deserved more though because we had good chances and good opportunities to make it 2-0.
"But you have to kill the game and if you don't do that, you always give them a chance to come back. So we needed to finish it, kill it and make sure they can't get back to 1-1. Then it's game over."
