Everton and Newcaslte played out an entertaining 0-0 draw at Goodison Park. The visitors were the more controlling side and should have won the game after James Tarkowski dragged Sandro Tonali down in the box midway through the first half.

It was a clear penalty kick and, following a VAR intervention, the visitors had the opportunity to go ahead. Newcastle were awarded the spot kick but Anthony Gordon’s effort was kept out by a fabulous save from Jordan Pickford.

Gordon was a threa throughout and made life hard for his old club with his pace and skill at the top of the match. If truth it was an even contest.

Both managers attempted to change the momentum with substitutes from the bench but they had little effect and neither team could press on to win.

Relive the action from Goodison Park and with our live blog below:

Everton 0-0 Newcastle

6 mins: Ashley Young receives the ball on the left side of the pitch. He curls a nice pass in behind the Newcastle defence as Dominic Calvert-Lewin makes a darting run.

The forward gets to the ball and is forced wide before being flagged offside.

Everton 0-0 Newcastle

6 mins: Everton have started the match strongly, looking to get on the front foot and be physical up against the Newcastle defence. There’s a buzz around the ground, as though the fans feel as though this could be there day.

Everton 0-0 Newcastle

3 mins: Everton win a free kick just inside their own half and lift a deep cross into the far side of the box. It looks like James Tarkowski is the man to win the header, though I could be wrong.

Either way it comes across the box and Nick Pope is there to punch it clear.

Kick off! Everton 0-0 Newcastle

Everton get the ball rolling at Goodison Park. Sean Dyche has put out a makeshift back four today which may cause a few issues if they don’t gel quickly.

Everton vs Newcastle

This should be a cracking game. Everton will be confident but Newcastle are a tricky team to defeat.

With a few missing players the Magpies look vulnerable, especially at the top of the pitch and Sean Dyche could use a positive result here as inspiration for the rest of the campaign.

The players will be heading onto the pitch shortly.
