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.

Prediction
Everton to win 2-0
Manchester United 1-1 Arsenal, 42 minutes
Nemanja Matic hauls back an Arsenal player looking to counter.
You know the drill.
Manchester United 1-1 Arsenal, 45 minutes
Aaron Ramsey slides in on Matic and has taken a knock to the leg.
Arsenal have already lost Rob Holding to injury tonight and Ramsey is another in bother.
Fortunately for Unai Emery, Ramsey (with a grimace) trudges to the halfway line and will continue.
Three added minutes.
Half time at Wembley. Spurs have a 1-0 lead thanks to Harry Kane's ninth minute opener.
Manchester United 1-1 Arsenal, 45 + 2 minutes
Aaron Ramsey has rejoined the action, but he's not moving smoothly. A half time change may be required, and Henrikh Mkhitaryan is warming up.
The second halves have started in the four earlier games.
An early penalty appeal for Chelsea at Wolves, but not given. What does the second 45 have in store?
Burnley 0-0 Liverpool, 47 minutes
Joe Hart is tested soon after the resumption, Daniel Sturridge stinging his palms with a strong effort.
Good stop from Hart.
Burnley 0-0 Liverpool, 52 minutes
Another excellent save from Hart. This time it is Naby Keita forcing the Burnley keeper into action.
Liverpool pressing for an opening goal.
GOAL! Burnley 1-0 Liverpool (Jack Cork, 54 minutes)
But the hosts lead!
Jack Cork stabs home from the clutches of Alisson, who fumbled after a Burnley corner.
An argument could be made that the Brazilian had both hands on the ball, and there may have been an offside in the build up, but the goal stands and Burnley have the lead against the run of play.
