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.

Pickford's long ball was expertly taken apart by Newcastle and Barnes already has an assist to his name, his through-ball soaring past the Everton defence and finding Isak.

This has been fairly even so far, with both sides fancying their chances on the break but yet to find a way through. Murphy sends a brilliant cross in Barnes' direction a few yards off the far post, but Godfrey wins their aerial duel and it's out for a Newcastle corner.

Krafth crosses to Isak in the box but Branthwaite is there to make the clearance. It goes out for a Newcastle corner - Hall swings it in to Guimaraes, who takes a touch, but it's too far over and Everton clear it safely.

Everton on the break! McNeil makes an excellent run through acres of space, Godfrey delivers it to Young in the box, but Newcastle defend it well. No corner for the visitors.

Huge missed chance for Everton! The free-kick falls to Tarkowski, who nods it over the top from five yards out! That was a great chance squandered by the visitors...

Every touch by an Everton player is greeted with deafening boos from the fortress that is St James' Park. Krafth just clips Beto before he can get the ball. Free-kick to Everton about 20 yards out...

Barnes and Andersen link up well in the box but Everton - tripping up Barnes in the process - get it under control and break. A long ball from Pickford falls to Doucoure but his first strike from the edge of the box soars over the bar!

Branthwaite makes an interception at the back and Everton break. Young chips the ball over the Magpies defence but there's no one in the box to take advantage. Newcastle are enjoying most of the possession at the moment.

Everton already under pressure! Newcastle with an early press up the pitch, but Barnes - replacing the suspended Gordon - can't quite get a touch on it. Isak then tries to tee up Barnes again but Pickford gets the block.
