Newcastle United vs Everton LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from St. James' Park
Follow live coverage as Newcastle United face Everton in the Premier League today.
The Magpies are up to sixth and are five unbeaten, including a goalless draw with Man United at the weekend. They have only lose once in the top flight this term, the same as the top three, but injuries in attack have hampered them somewhat at times. Alexander Isak is out for the coming weeks after signing this summer.
Everton had just started to find a bit of form themselves but two defeats recently leave them 14th in the table. Goals have still been a problem with the Toffees netting eight in 10 matches this season. Everton have drawn four times this term, with Newcastle drawing six - more than any other team, with the Toffees joint-second in that regard.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:
Newcastle United vs Everton
Newcastle have been the better side throughout the first half and will be pleased with how the game has been going. Everton, on the other hand, have offered little. They'll hope to re-emerge from the interval revitalised, with a new approach.
Newcastle United vs Everton
Newcastle go into the break a goal to the good. They quickly took control of this game and, after asserting their dominance with increasing intensity, took the lead through a left-footed strike from Almiron in the 31st minute. The hosts threatened to add a second soon after, but Everton managed to hold out and make it to half-time otherwise unscathed.
