Key events
90+3 mins: Calvert-Lewin is taken down by Schar around 35 yards from goal, earning the Swiss defender a booking.
90+2 mins: Everton have a chance to break but McNeil loses the ball before the counter gets going.
90 mins: Joelinton takes aim from around 25 yards but it foes nowhere near the net.
Four minutes added on.
88 mins: Tarkowski beats Joelinton to the ball on the right but then loses possession and the Brazilian sweeps in, only for the referee to give Everton a free-kick.
87 mins: Another chance for Newcastle as Almiron gets the ball in the box but his poked finish is very weak. What a fully fit striker would have done for Newcastle today.
86 mins: Willock tries to get the better of Garner but, once again, the full-back does very well to stop him. Are Everton holding on here?
John Davis says: “I thought it was a nailed on pen at first, but on replay Burn is running straight towards the ball and makes no attempt to impede DCL (for ease of typing). Burn gets kicked as he tries to shoot. Probably not a pen. What ever the ref sees gets given. I reckon it’s probably right.”
84 mins: Ndiaye does well on the right and lifts a cross to the back post; it just goes over Doucoure, which puts off McNeil who completely misskicks a volley.
Hall is booked for taking down Ndiaye.
Ross O’Connor emails: “With all the non-penalty kerfuffle nobody seems to have noticed that Gana Gueye should have buried the follow-up. Glaring miss.” It was a bad miss.
82 mins: WHAT A CHANCE! Gordon just stays onside to reach a neat Almiron pass, he is one-on-one with Pickford but whacks his shot over from close range.
Should Everton send on Lindstrom and Beto to liven things up? They look out of ideas in the final third.
80 mins: Fair play to Garner, he has really stuck at it as a right-back. The sort of player you want in your squad.
Andy Flintoff emails about the penalty: “Defenders get away with a lot if an attacker is shooting, but this was an exception – an early challenge rather than the late ones which normally go unpunished.”
I am sure Dyche will have strong views.
78 mins: Newcastle win their 10th corner of the match. Calvert-Lewin wins it at the front post and Gueye takes it clear.
76 mins: Garner wins the ball inside his own area and whacks it up the pitch … straight to Pope.
74 mins: Iroegbunam has slotted in alongside Gueye and Doucoure has moved into his ‘No 10’ gig.
72 mins: Everton fail to clear a cross allowing Almiron to shoot from inside the box but it hits the sidenetting.
More Newcastle changes: Trippier and Tonali off, Longstaff and Livramento on.
70 mins: The upside to the non-penalty is that the crowd are once again enraged and Everton are starting to up the tempo.
Trippier’s sat on the floor and he is heading off.
Subs: Harrison off, Iroegbunam on. Willock replaces Murphy for Newcastle.
68 mins: It’s all going off! Calvert-Lewin gets the wrong side of the defence and shoots from eight yards but Pope saves, the striker goes for the rebound but goes down under a challenge from Burn. Gueye fires over. VAR checks for a penalty. It looks like a pen to me but the bods say no. He kicks the back of Burn’s leg but if he is preventing a shot, then he is impeding him.
66 mins: Almiron is found by Trippier inside the box, he sends the ball across goal and Pickford is forced to turn it behind. Tonali flicks a volley from the corner but it is blocked and Everton clear.
64 mins: There is very little quality in possession from either team at the moment. This game has become scrappy.
62 mins: Pickford whacks a free-kick from just inside the Everton half straight out for a throw. Not the best.
Almiron is on for Newcastle, Barnes off.
61 mins: Gueye whacks a shot over from 18 yards, I think it ended in the second tier.
59 mins: Gordon is booed as he goes down the left. It looks like Barnes is down the middle at the moment.
57 mins: Gordon and Joelinton combine on the left and the ball is worked back to Guimaraes but he digs out a shot from underneath him and sends it well over.
55 mins: McNeil does his best to wake up the Everton fans by pinging a shot from 30 yards but it flies well wide. A stat pops up to show that as the first Everton chance since the Newcastle missed penalty. Bleak.
Everton are bringing on Gueye for Mangala.
53 mins: Ndiaye dribbles around 40 yards up the pitch but is then easily tackled by Guimaraes. The Senegal international has been relatively quiet thus far.
51 mins: Joelinton gets the better of Mangala down the left, he drives into the box but his pullback is blocked by Tarkowski.
Trippier takes the resulting corner which Everton just about survive after Pickford pushes the ball onto Joelinton.
49 mins: Gordon chips the ball to Joelinton at the back post, he lays it into the path of Tonali whose first-time shot from 12 yards is well blocked.
Everything about Everton at the moment seems quite passive.
47 mins: Newcastle have started with a high tempo. Everton need to up it here or they could be in trouble.
Second half
Here we go again!
Kári Tulinius says: “Both Everton and Newcastle are much more comfortable playing on the back foot, and since neither team has felt the need to get proactive, the match has felt very tentative. I hope that one of the teams will go for it, but suspect that both sides fear that committing men forward will mean getting done on the break.”
“We used to have a rule for penalties playing on the streets of Newcastle “Nae blasters”, and it’s good that Anthony Gordon is following that tradition,” says Brian Robson.
Half-time reading.
Half time: Everton 0-0 Newcastle
I would not say there has been a massive amount of quality but the disallowed goal and penalty save have brought plenty of entertainment. I would advise Everton improving after the break because they have brought little to the party.
45+6 mins: A lovely cross finds Gordon unmarked in the six-yard box but instead of heading for goal, he knocks it down for Joelinton who sends his effort over.
45+4 mins: Joelinton dribbles towards the edge of the box and goes down under pressure but it is certainly not a free-kick. Everton look happy to get to the break with the score goalless. Newcastle have had almost 90% in the past 10 minutes.
45+2 mins: Ndiaye does well to win the ball in his own defence third but then tries to dribble it up the pitch and loses possession. Gordon receives it in the box but is outnumbered and Tarkowski eventually whacks clear to end the attack.
45 mins: Six minutes added on. Cheers VAR.
44 mins: Another way to get the Everton fans going is to foul Gordon. Keane is the latest man to do it and everyone in blue moans at the referee.
McNeil is booked for a crude challenge on Guimaraes.
42 mins: Everton survive another corner as Pickford punches clear and Tarkowski does not wrestle anyone to the ground.
40 mins: Newcastle have, overall, been the better team here but have not looked like scoring from open play. They could do with an actual striker.
38 mins: The disallowed goal and penalty save has riled up the Everton fans. It might help give the hosts an extra edge.
36 mins: Goodison erupted when Pickford saved it. Tarkowski will be very very relieved.
Everton then survive a couple of corners as they look to find calm.
PENALTY SAVED! Everton 0-0 Newcastle
35 mins: Pickford dives to his left to repel former Toffee Gordon.
33 mins: PENALTY! I have no idea what Tarkowski was doing – there was no threat. Pawson awards it after looking at the screen.
32 mins: There is a penalty check for Tarkowski chucking Tonali to the ground. It is very much a foul and incredibly pointless from the Everton skipper. Pawson wanders to the screen.
30 mins: Barnes has a lot of space on the left and he is able to chip the ball to the back post. Young heads it behind for a corner, which concludes with Murphy curling a shot wide from the edge of the box.
