Newcastle vs Everton LIVE: Premier League result and final score after Dominic Calvert-Lewin penalty
Newcastle 1-1 Everton: Calvert-Lewin’s late penalty cancelled out Alexander Isak’s first-half opener
Dominic Calvert-Lewin ended a 23-game goal drought as he scored a late penalty to give struggling Everton a 1-1 Premier League draw at Newcastle United, who will rue several missed opportunities in a match they largely dominated.
Everton were awarded the spot-kick when Ashley Young was hauled to the floor by Newcastle defender Paul Dummett, who had only just come onto the pitch, and Calvert-Lewin thrashed the ball into the net.
Alexander Isak had earlier scored for the fifth home game in a row for Newcastle after being played behind the Everton defence by Harvey Barnes, the Swede showing great composure to evade the challenges of James Tarkowski and Jarrad Branthwaite.
Everton, who are facing the potential of a second points deduction this season for a breach of Profit and Sustainability rules, stay in 16th place with 26 points from 30 games, four points above the relegation zone, while Newcastle are in eighth with 44 points from 30 games.

Murphy swings in a cross and Pickford does well to collect just a couple of yards out from goal!

Huge chance for Newcastle and Isak almost has a second! He glides through the defence and has a glorious chance to put the hosts 2-0 up, but it floats just over the bar.

Huge stop by Pickford! After a calmer period of Newcastle possession the ball falls to Barnes at the far left - he gets it around Pickford, who's off his line, but no one can get a decent touch on it. Murphy then has a go himself and the Everton goalkeeper sticks out a leg to keep it out!

Chance for Everton! Doucoure finds some space in the box and has a good attempt, but Dubravka jumps and gets his gloves to it. That's the most positive Everton have looked all game!

Beto gets a talking to for a lunge on Krafth. Still no yellow cards in this game despite some feisty challenges. Hall is back up and appears to be moving well.

Play resumes. Guimaraes and Andersen wrestle with Everton over a corner and the latter goes down courtesy of Doucoure. Everton have possession now, but McNeil's ball goes nowhere.

Barnes makes another electric run down the left but Tarkowski arrests it and concedes a throw-in. In another worrying sight for Eddie Howe, Hall is down on the pitch, holding onto his ribs. Medical staff are on the pitch - is this yet another injury setback for the Magpies?

Everton once again are asleep at the back as Isak and Andersen again combine dangerously in the box, but Godfrey makes a great clearance to save their blushes. The resulting corner is flicked over for an Everton goal-kick.

Isak's attempt to pass to Barnes down the left, frustrated by the Everton midfield, is greeted with appreciation by the crowd. Their star man has now scored in each of his last five Premier League home games, the first player to do so since Yoan Gouffran in 2013.
