Newcastle United beat Everton 1-0 in the Premier League at St James' Park on Tuesday night - here are the player ratings from the match.
Eddie Howe made four changes to the side that beat West Ham United 4-3 on Saturday. Jamaal Lascelles and Tino Livramento dropped out of the starting line-up due to injury and Anthony Gordon missed out against his former club due to suspension.
Miguel Almiron also dropped out of the squad due to injury as Lewis Hall, Elliot Anderson, Emil Krafth and Harvey Barnes came into the starting line-up. Newcastle went into the match looking to pick up consecutive wins for the first time in 2024 while Everton were looking to end a Premier League club-record 12 game run without a win.
Newcastle opened the scoring after 15 minutes as Harvey Barnes' lofted ball found Alexander Isak, who worked his way into the box before finding the bottom right corner of the goal with his 19th of the season in all competitions.
The Magpies had chances to extend their lead before half-time but the scoreline remained 1-0 as both sides went in at the break.
Newcastle thought they'd doubles their lead just before the hour mark as Dan Burn turned in Alexander Isak's low cross but a VAR check ruled the goal out for offside against the Swedish striker.
Isak then had an effort headed off the line by Vitaliy Mykolenko as the score remained 1-0 to the hosts.
Everton drew level in the 88th minute after Paul Dummett dragged down Ashley Young in the penalty area. Dominic Calvert-Lewin stepped up and converted to make it 1-1.

10. Harvey Barnes - 6
Saw an early chance saved and set up Isak for the opening goal. Almost set up Isak again following a great run only for Mykolenko to block it on the line. Blasted wide shortly after. Faded after the break. | AFP via Getty Images
11. Alexander Isak - 7
A great effort put Newcastle in front. His 19th of the season. Irresistible in front of goal at the moment. Put in a good ball for Dan Burn to find the net only for the goal to be ruled out by VAR. Should have made it 2-0 but saw an effort headed off the line by Mykolenko. | Getty Images
12. Joe Willock - 5
On for Anderson 71: Had a few runs forward with the ball but didn't have the desired impact. | Getty Images
