Everton manager Sam Allardyce is keen to move on from the controversial club survey sent out about his tenure, after his side moved into eighth place with a 1-0 win over Newcastle.

In the first contest since the Toffees quizzed their own supporters over Allardyce last week, Theo Walcott struck a second-half winner to settle a dull mid-table contest at Goodison Park.

There was a visual indication of the fan feeling towards Allardyce when a banner was unfurled before kick-off that read "Our survey says... get out of our club."

Nevertheless, Allardyce is keen to move on from the whole affair and feels the win over the Magpies will help do that.

"The controversy was caused by an error by one of our employees, which he obviously realises wasn't the right thing to do," said Allardyce.
