Dominic Calvert-Lewin secured a late penalty earning Everton a crucial point in their relegation battle against Newcastle. The hosts initially took the lead through Alexander Isak but Everton rallied after a contentious penalty decision with Calvert-Lewin ending his goal drought.

Despite the draw, Everton set an unfortunate club record of 13 consecutive Premier League matches without a win. On the other hand, Newcastle missed an opportunity to capitalize on their recent momentum after a stunning comeback victory against West Ham.

Both teams had chances throughout the match but Everton resilience earned them a vital point. The draw keeps Everton 16th in the league table while Newcastle remain in eighth place.
