Huge save by Jordan Pickford
The ex-Sunderland man makes an unreal reaction to push a Tonali rocket off the bar four minutes into stoppage time.
Six minutes’ stoppage
Not over yet.
Osula in for Gordon
Eddie Howe looks to another forward for the home stretch.
Thierno Barry goal — Newcastle 2-3 Everton
He wasn’t in the game long, but he’s bundled the Toffees back into the lead.
Jacob Murphy goal — Newcastle 2-2 Everton
Joelinton’s chipped cross to Murphy is settled and stung off a Toffee and past Pickford.
Everton sub
Harrison Armstrong will take the place of Dwight McNeil in the 81st minute.
Magpies failing to cash in
Gordon’s a quick center forward but he doesn’t have the size to cash-in a back post cross.
Barnes sails one over the bar.
Howe is bringing Yoane Wissa into the game for fullback Trippier as we reach the final 15 minutes (plus stoppage).
Newcastle subs
Day’s done for Elanga and Woltemade, as Jacob Murphy and Harvey Barnes enter the game with Gordon likely to go back atop the attack in the 56th minute.
Well, actually
Jacob Ramsey’s gotten ill on the pitch and Joe Willock is quickly being prepared to start the second half.
No changes at the break
Will Everton pluck three big points for their European dreams?
Halftime — Newcastle 1-2 Everton
Entertaining half with three shots on target each, but Newcastle will rue the goal that separates the side as Pope gifted Beto a goal.
Eddie Howe’s experiment of putting Anthony Gordon up top and Nick Woltemade in the midfield did not work and Harvey Barnes, Jacob Murphy, and Yoane Murphy will all be waiting on the bench.
Beto goal — Newcastle 1-2 Everton
Horrendous error from Nick Pope, who dives to his right and flat out fumbles a shot from 22 yards.
Beto follows it to goal and slaps into an empty cage.
Jacob Ramsey goal — Newcastle 1-1 Everton
Newcastle get level as Tonali does some massive work to get the ball across the top of the box to Jacob Ramsey.
The ex-Villa man sees his shot take a big turn to beat Jordan Pickford.
Jarrad Branthwaite goal — Newcastle 0-1 Everton
It’s against the run of play, so to speak, and it’s off a corner.
Branthwaite is closely-marked and even shoved by Tonali as he runs outside the near post and places a gorgeous header all the way across goal and off the far post.
Really good from the big back.
Newcastle lineup
Pope, Hall, Burn, Thiaw, Trippier, Tonali, Joelinton, Ramsey, Gordon, Elanga, Woltemade
Everton lineup
Pickford, O’Brien, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko, Gana Gueye, Garner, McNeil, Dewsbury-Hall, Ndiaye, Beto
Newcastle vs Everton preview — by Joe Prince-Wright
Newcastle are into the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League after demolishing Qarabag in the knockout round over the last week, while Eddie Howe’s side lost 2-1 to Manchester City in the league last weekend. Newcastle sit one point behind Everton in the table heading into this weekend and despite a bit of a step back this season, the Magpies would love to muscle their way into the top seven.
Everton played well against Man United at home on Monday but failed to take their chances and lost 1-0. That pretty much sums up their season. David Moyes’ side are still ahead of schedule in terms of their development but if they add a clinical finisher to their ranks they are set for a top six push next season.
Newcastle team news, focus
Howe has been dealing with injuries all season long and Newcastle have been dealt a big blow with captain and star midfielder Bruno Guimaraes out until April. Tino Livramento, Fabian Schar, Lewis Miley and Emil Krafth are all out, while Jacob Ramsey is a doubt. It will be intriguing to see how Newcastle line up in attack with Nick Woltemade finding himself out of the team in recent weeks, while Yoane Wissa needs a run of games to get going again. Anthony Gordon and Harvey Barnes have been superb in recent games.
Everton team news, focus
Carlos Alcaraz is out, while Jake O’Brien will return from suspension and go to right back with James Garner moving back to central midfield. For Everton it’s all about getting the right combinations in attack as Beto could be handed a start with Thierno Barry struggling a little in recent weeks.
Newcastle vs Everton prediction
This feels like a draw between two very evenly-matched teams. Newcastle 1-1 Everton.
