All the latest from Goodison Park as Eddie Howe's Magpies take on under-pressure Frank Lampard and Everton.
The ball ricochets to Gray on the edge of the box, and it was a great block from Burn. Here's how Lee Ryder has rated the players. Krafth brings down Richarlison on the edge of the box, and the full-back and Gordon are both booked following a brief confrontation. Doucoure's clearance finds Guimares on the edge of the box, and he tries to dig out a shot to the far corner. Almiron does well to get past Godfrey, and picks out Bruno. It's a dragged shot, but Begovic pushes the shot out on to Wood's head. The free-kick is deflected behind for a corner, and it is worked back to Gordon who has a fierce shot tipped clear by Dubravka. The hosts are furious over a penalty appeal as Coleman is finally dispossesed in the box, and then Allan is booked for bringing Saint-Maximin down on the counter. Saint-Maximin cuts it back to Joelinton on the edge of the box. Coleman beats Saint-Maximin to the ball on the halfway line. The incident almost certainly broke the concentration of some players with Newcastle on top in the first half and starting the second in the same manner. Frank Lampard and Everton are under pressure at the bottom of the Premier League table, and come into tonight's match on the back of just one Premier League win in 2022, and failing to score in their last four league outings. And the Toffees held on to seal vital win that lifted them three points clear of the relegation zone.
Hopefully the fans bring the noise today because with confidence being as low as it is, the players are going to need anything and everything to push them ...
Looks like a 4-2-3-1 with Gordon as the #10, ALex Iwobi on the right and Gray left, but it has been fluid among that trio. There will be plenty of time after the season is complete for gnashing of teeth, beating of brows and complaining about players not fit to wear the shirt. The two sides met recently in the Northeast with the Toon’s tails up while Everton’s downward slide was starting to pick up steam and Frank Lampard was still new in the job. Gordon fights for the ball and can release a streaking Gray on the left but it’s just too long. 20’ - Abdoulaye Doucoure barges into Joelinton in the Magpies’ half, his forearm bounces off the Brazilian’s shoulder and catching him in the head. 90+14’ - ASM now on the right, beats Gordon for a cross and Godfrey clears for a late corner. The Toffees should make sure they get to every knockdown, rebound and second ball from those though. Put into the box, Godfrey heads it back in and put out for a corner. through the wall and out for a corner! Cleared and put out wide for Gordon to collect and cross back in, high and Gray comes sliding in but it’s well wide. The ref cancels his yellow and gives him a red card now. 90+12’ - Andros Townsend comes on for Gordon.. no wait, the substitution has been canceled?
Bruno clatters into Gordon in the Newcastle area and there's a massive shout for a penalty, but it's waved away by Pawson.
I have a lot of respect for Frank [Lampard], I've known him for a number of years and I'm looking forward to going up against him. He's been pivotal to our recent success as a team. No [tonight is not must-win], because there are a lot of games to go. Worrying for Everton as Newcastle almost take the lead from their first attack. Everton go down the other end through Gray, but his options in the box are paltry once again. Lo and behold, he's straight back up to his feet after writing on the floor, berating the referee. Instead of holding on for a point, Iwobi pounced. Newcastle’s new rock, Dan Burn, appeared to be at his most stubborn, and as Lampard turned to substitute Calvert-Lewin, Howe unleashed Saint-Maximin. A furious Lampard said he will appeal the decision. Given Everton's lack of goals to that point, there was a temptation to note it was the first time in weeks the home fans had seen a cutting edge. For much of the night Newcastle keeper Dubravka watched on. And if anyone in a blue shirt in possession in the final third of the pitch even dared think of a backward pass, the murmurs were such they would rather get their head down and scrummage on like a hooker into a scrum.
