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.

Newcastle's first corner comes to nothing, but their second causes a few problems. Pickford rushes off his line leaving his goal empty and gets nowhere near the ball. Luckily for him, no Newcastle players make contact with it either.

Another long ball over the top threatens to cause Everton some problems as Trippier looks for Almiron ahead of him this time. Mykolenko gets there first, but ends up giving away a corner with a loose first touch.

It's Everton that are being penned in now, as Newcastle work it down their right. Longstaff clips it in from the byline, looking for Wilson again, but he can't get any power on his header.

Newcastle are really struggling to get out of their own half here. Everton aren't letting up the pressure of their high press and it's stifling any attempts the visitors have to get forward.

Keane's perseverance pays off as he bundles his way down the right before it's worked out to the left. Calvert-Lewin debates having a shot, but instead crosses it. It deflects off Longstaff, looping high into the air, and Iwobi can't control it.
