Everton vs Newcastle United LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Goodison Park
Newcastle United moved in sight of Champions League qualification with a 4-1 win at Everton that kept the home team in the Premier League’s relegation zone.
Callum Wilson, selected up front ahead of Alexander Isak, scored goals either side of a header from Joelinton.
Isak came on as a second-half substitute and produced the highlight of the game with a mazy dribble down the left wing before he chipped the ball across for fellow replacement Jacob Murphy to tap home at the far post.
Everton thought it was back in the game at Goodison Park after an 80th-minute header from Dwight McNeil at a corner, which made it 3-1. Murphy, though, scored a minute later.
Newcastle stayed in third place and is eight points clear of Aston Villa in fifth, having played one game less. Newcastle has six matches to play. Everton is in next-to-last place, two points adrift of safety, and has a huge game at third-from-bottom Leicester coming up on Monday.

GREAT SAVE! Newcastle's first corner is poor, but they manage to win a second one. This one is only half-cleared to Willock on the edge of the box and he curls a volley to the far post. He's ready to run off in celebration as Pickford tips it wide.

Newcastle are making the first change and it's a double one. Targett, who is on a booking, goes off for Burn.

The pressure isn't letting up on the hosts, but when it rolls back to Pickford, he sees a chance to get his team upfield. It's a poor clearance that's met by groans from the fans as it flies straight out of play.
