Everton were forced to settle for a point as Newcastle dug in to claim a creditable 1-1 draw at Goodison Park.
Everton forward Richarlison cancelled out Salomon Rondon's early strike for the visitors but the hosts paid the price for spurning further gilt-edged chances before the break.
Gylfi Sigurdsson and Cenk Tosun both looked certain to score before being denied by Federico Fernandez and Martin Dubravka respectively.
Everton's pace dropped in the second period as Newcastle sat deep to protect a point and inch a little further away from the Premier League's bottom three. PA

Where can I watch it?
Everton vs Newcastle will not be televised, but you can follow the action via IndySport’s live blog.
Player to watch:
Yerry Mina. He momentarily broke England hearts at the World Cup this summer and he’s in a dominant mood again with his new club Everton. The defender won man of the match on his debut at Stamford Bridge, and has proved worth the wait after he missed the start of the season. The Colombian is assertive in the air and even loves a goal; he scored three in four games at the World Cup from centre back. Everton were awful at the back last season, but Mina alongside Michael Keane is a defensive partnership with strength and technical ability.

Everton to win 2-0
Good afternoon and welcome to The Independent's live coverage of tonight's Premier League action, headlined by a mouth-watering clash at Old Trafford between rivals Manchester United and Arsenal.
The match is one of six Premier League games taking place today, with Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham also in action. Liverpool make the short trip to Turf Moor to face Burnley, while Chelsea are also on the road as they head to the Molineaux to face Wolves, and Tottenham host Southampton at Wembley Stadium just a few hours after the visitors announced Ralph Hasenhutl as their new manager.
The other two matches taking place this evening sees Everton host Newcastle at Goodison Park and Fulham manager Claudio Ranieri come up against the side who he guided to the Premier League title in Leicester City.
Evening everyone.
A bumper night of midweek Premier League action for your pleasure this evening.
Four of tonight's six games kick off at quarter to eight, which means team news is just minutes away...
That's the early team news done and dusted, then. A chance for Ruben Loftus-Cheek from the start in Chelsea's midfield, and a rather unfamiliar front three for Liverpool perhaps the two most noteworthy selection decisions.
Manchester United-Arsenal and Tottenham-Southampton are the 8pm games. Team news for those should be coming very, very soon...
