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.

It's a game with big implications at both ends of the table. Newcastle took another big step towards Champions League football next season with a thumping 6-1 win over Tottenham on Sunday, meaning they bounced back in style from their 3-0 defeat to Aston Villa in their last away game. That's their only loss in seven, winning the other six in that run. As for Everton, they slipped down to 19th due to results in the other matches this week. They're winless in their last five outings (D3 L2), last winning against Brentford in mid-March.
