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.

GREAT CHANCE! Newcastle still want that fifth goal and Gordon darts down the left before helping it onto Isak. He tries to return it to the former Everton man, but it rolls through to Murphy instead, and he curls his first-time shot over.

NO GOAL! From the initial free-kick, Burn set off too early and was in an offside position when he got on the ball. It means that Schar's goal won't count and it's still 4-1!

SCHAR SCORES! And it's another brilliant goal for the Magpies! A free-kick is swung in from the right, but Burn can only send his header out to the left. Schar brings it down before cutting inside and curling a superb shot through the crowd of players and into the far post, but VAR is checking this for a possible offside...

Goodison Park is emptying a lot quicker now, but Everton are still pushing forward. Iwobi makes another darting run down the right but fouls Botman before he can put a cross in.
