Everton vs Newcastle United LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Goodison Park
Newcastle United moved in sight of Champions League qualification with a 4-1 win at Everton that kept the home team in the Premier League’s relegation zone.
Callum Wilson, selected up front ahead of Alexander Isak, scored goals either side of a header from Joelinton.
Isak came on as a second-half substitute and produced the highlight of the game with a mazy dribble down the left wing before he chipped the ball across for fellow replacement Jacob Murphy to tap home at the far post.
Everton thought it was back in the game at Goodison Park after an 80th-minute header from Dwight McNeil at a corner, which made it 3-1. Murphy, though, scored a minute later.
Newcastle stayed in third place and is eight points clear of Aston Villa in fifth, having played one game less. Newcastle has six matches to play. Everton is in next-to-last place, two points adrift of safety, and has a huge game at third-from-bottom Leicester coming up on Monday.

Botman slices at his clearance and Iwobi pounces onto it, quickly curling a cross into the middle. Calvert-Lewin gets in front of Schar, but it's just too high for him to make contact with.

McNeil's first attempt to play it over the top is cut out by Trippier, but he gets it straight back. He lays it off to Gueye, who does pick out Doucoure's run off the back of Schar, but he set off too early.

It's not the greatest clearance from Mykolenko as it's nodded down by Joelinton, and Newcastle look to get it into the box quickly. Trippier lifts it over the top to Willock on the left, but he can't keep it in play.
