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.

Guimaraes and Gueye get in an elaborate tangle and the Brazilian hauls him over, giving away a free kick in the centre. Nothing comes of it and Barnes attempts to break, but Everton regain possession - Beto tries to cut it back, possibly for Doucoure, but his accuracy is way off again and Newcastle recover it easily.

Now Beto has a go for the visitors! He gets into a good position but his shot from the edge of the box is miles off target. Sean Dyche does not look impressed.

Massive chance for Murphy! Everton are camped out in their box and Murphy takes his chance to sprint through and have a shot from range - but it fizzes over the bar! Newcastle have had six attempts now to Everton's two and are bringing all the intensity.

Andersen drives down the centre and squares it to Barnes, but there's a sea of blue shirts in the box to block and after a bit of pinball Everton head it clear.

Andersen and Guimaraes get in each other's way a little in midfield. Andersen tries to get into space and wins a free kick after getting shoved over, near the Newcastle box.

Everton have been a lot more subdued since going behind. The hosts are controlling the game, with 66% of the possession, and looking much more dangerous.

There's a brief pause in play for the players to break their Ramadan fast.

All Newcastle now! Onana slides in on Andersen driving down the left, and the Newcastle man goes down and wins a free-kick.
