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.

The first yellow of the game goes to Tarkowski for stepping on the back of Murphy's heel.

Into the last 11 minutes. In the reverse fixture Everton scored three goals in that time - is this game going to have an equally dramatic end?

Calvert-Lewin sprints forward in acres of space but with no-one to pass to in the box, he takes too much time and Burn gets to him and takes out the danger. Dummett looks to be readying himself - Hall is down on the turf again so may be about to be replaced.

Godfrey knocks the ball behind and Newcastle have a corner. It's getting a bit feisty - Burn and Branthwaite are pushing and shoving each other in the box. Murphy's ball in is booted clear by Gomes.

Longstaff does well to rob Garner of the ball and set up Willock on the break. Isak dances through the defence and passes to Barnes, but his effort is well saved by Pickford.

Schar slides in on Mykolenko to stop him advancing on goal. Everton are really ramping up the pressure now, Newcastle know their lead is slim and they can't sit this one out.

End-to-end stuff at the moment, Everton really energised by their substitutions. Mykolenko attempts to pass to McNeil in the box but Krafth knocks it out for an corner. It's floated to the back post, out to a central position where Young is waiting - but his fierce attempt is blocked by a defender.
