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.

What is the early team news?
Nathan Patterson is nearing a return to action for Everton after a hamstring issue, who remain without Seamus Coleman and Armando Broja.
Alexander Isak looks set to miss out again for Newcastle with his broken toe, leaving Anthony Gordon likely to deputise. Nick Pope was absent from the Carabao Cup win in midweek but Eddie Howe was “hopeful” that his first-choice goalkeeper would be able to return for this game.
Everton vs Newcastle
Everton will hope to build on a first Premier League win of the season as they host Newcastle at Goodison Park.
Sean Dyche’s side had squandered winning positions repeatedly across their first five games of the campaign but climbed out of the bottom three with victory over Crystal Palace last weekend after a Dwight McNeil double.
Newcastle secured an impressive point against Manchester City in their last league outing, before coming through a postponed encounter with AFC Wimbledon in the Carabao Cup.
Eddie Howe’s side will harbour hopes of again pushing for a place in Europe this season and will hope to secure a positive result before the international break.
