Everton were in charge for a major part of the game but were unable to clinch the much-needed triumph against their hosts so they can reclaim their number one position on the table.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin netted a late goal, however, it was not sufficient to prevent Carlo Ancelotti's side from falling at Newcastle.
