Newcastle United drew 0-0 with Everton at half-time in the Premier League match at Goodison Park - here are the player ratings from the match.
Eddie Howe named an unchanged starting line-up from the side that drew 1-1 with Manchester City last time out in the Premier League as Anthony Gordon started up front against his former club.
Newcastle had the first big chance of the game following a corner kick as the ball dropped for Bruno Guimaraes to strike goalwards only for his effort to be cleared off the line by Iliman Ndiaye.
Everton thought they’d taken the lead after Abdoulaye Doucoure headed the ball into the top left corner only for VAR to rule the goal out for offside. VAR then helped Newcastle again after Sandro Tonali was pulled down inside the area by James Tarkowski and the away side were awarded a penalty for the third successive match.
But Gordon stepped up and was denied by his former team-mate Jordan Pickford as the score remained 0-0 heading into the second half.
Newcastle had a couple of half chances in the second half while Nick Pope made a strong save to deny Dominic Calvert-Lewin moments before the Everton forward had a penalty shout turned down.
It was a frustrating evening for both sides ultimately as the match ended goalless.
