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.

Substitute Harvey Barnes’ brace at the weekend is rewarded with a start for Newcastle tonight, while Emil Krafth, Lewis Hall and Elliot Anderson also come into the starting XI. Anthony Gordon won’t be able to face his former club as he serves a one-match ban. In another blow to the Magpies’ injury-stricken season, captain Jamaal Lascelles tore his ACL in that same match and will be out for up to nine months, while Miguel Almiron and Tino Livramento, also injured on Saturday, miss out on the squad too.

Newcastle United vs Everton
Everton are desperate to bring a halt to a grim run of results, and will likely take inspiration from the fact that their only win in eight midweek Premier League matches was a 3-0 victory over Newcastle in the reverse fixture. The Toffees sit 16th in the Premier League, just three points above the drop zone, and are winless in their last 12 Premier League games – their longest league run without a victory since 1957 – including their last seven on the road. A win today would see them complete the league double over the Magpies for the first time since 2017-18, and take them above Brentford into 15th.

Newcastle are on a four-match unbeaten run and looking to build on their late season momentum, having come from 3-1 down to beat West Ham 4-3 at the weekend. The hosts are in eighth place on 43 points, trailing fifth-placed Aston Villa by 13 points for a Europa League spot. They’ve only lost three times at home this season, while their record against Everton will give them further confidence: the Magpies have won five of their last seven meetings. A win today would see them leapfrog West Ham into sixth place.
