Newcastle vs Everton LIVE: Premier League result and final score after Dominic Calvert-Lewin penalty
Newcastle 1-1 Everton: Calvert-Lewin’s late penalty cancelled out Alexander Isak’s first-half opener
Dominic Calvert-Lewin ended a 23-game goal drought as he scored a late penalty to give struggling Everton a 1-1 Premier League draw at Newcastle United, who will rue several missed opportunities in a match they largely dominated.
Everton were awarded the spot-kick when Ashley Young was hauled to the floor by Newcastle defender Paul Dummett, who had only just come onto the pitch, and Calvert-Lewin thrashed the ball into the net.
Alexander Isak had earlier scored for the fifth home game in a row for Newcastle after being played behind the Everton defence by Harvey Barnes, the Swede showing great composure to evade the challenges of James Tarkowski and Jarrad Branthwaite.
Everton, who are facing the potential of a second points deduction this season for a breach of Profit and Sustainability rules, stay in 16th place with 26 points from 30 games, four points above the relegation zone, while Newcastle are in eighth with 44 points from 30 games.

PENALTY GIVEN! Everton DO get a lifeline! The ball is going nowhere near Young and Dummett, with his arm round his neck, hauls him down regardless. Calvert-Lewin to take - can he end his goal drought here and revitalise his season?

Guimaraes boots a shot way over the bar. Late drama: VAR are checking for a possible penalty for Everton down the other end... Dummett hauled down Young by the neck in the box with the ball nowhere in sight. Could the visitors get a lifeline here?

Chermiti's first action of the game is to trip up Krafth. Murphy is limping around, testing his heel - that looked like it hurt. Burn makes an excellent challenge to halt Chermiti's run on goal in its tracks.
