Newcastle United are beating Everton 1-0 at Goodison Park this Thursday evening - here’s how the players have fared so far.
After a positive start from Everton, Callum Wilson gave Newcastle the lead with his 12th goal of the season against the run of play. Everton thought they had equalised on the stroke of half-time as Dominic Calvert-Lewin dinked the ball over Nick Pope only for VAR to rule the goal out for offside.
It was a difficult for half for Newcastle on the whole despite their slender advantage going into the second half.
Displayed a few good turns of pace and link-up play to cause a couple of problems down the right without threatening the goal. Fairly quiet on the whole. | Getty Images
Reacted well to turn in his 12th of the season. Led the line well against a physical Everton side and capped off a good display with a stunning curling effort from outside the box to put the game beyond Everton’s reach.
