  • 75'
    Keane is booked for clattering Gayle after the ball had long gone. A free-kick right on the edge of the box for the visitors here and Matt Ritchie is on the scene.

    Newcastle have certainly improves since going behind, with Kenedy's delivery from the left wing a particular danger for the Everton backline.
  • 72'
    CHANCE! Kenedy's ball in from the left if perfect for Perez, but his flicked header is straight at Pickford.

  • 51'
    GOAL! EVERTON! WALCOTT! Bolasie crosses from the right and whilst Walcott's control at the far post is poor, it bounces back to him off Yedlin, allowing him to cut inside and fire into the roof of Dubravka's net to open the scoring.
  • 49'
    Jagielka hesitates when he should clear and Kenedy seizes on the loose ball. His cushioned pass puts Perez in but he screws a left-footed effort wide from ten yards under pressure from Keane.
  • 46'
    Everton get us back underway. Will we see a goal in this second half?
  • 45'
    HT: Everton 0-0 Newcastle. Nothing to separate the sides in what has been a drab affair. No shots on target from either side so far and whilst Everton have dominated the ball, Newcastle could have been in a couple of times had they taken a bit more care.
  • 45'
    Walcott shoots over from the angle of the box in what should be the last action of the half.
  • 44'
    Baines' low centre from the left is scrambled to safety by Dummett.
  • 38'
    CHANCE! Pickford's kick is charged down by Kenedy and whilst Perez should have the simple task of slipping Slimani in he over-hits the pass and Pickford gathers. A little more care needed there!
  • 35'
    WHAT A CHANCE! The initial corner is scrambled clear and when Rooney crosses back in Keane heads it back across goal for Jagielka but he can only volley over on the slide at the far post with only Dubravka to beat!
  • 34'
    Dummett heads away Rooney's free-kick from deep to prevent it from reaching Tosun at the far post.
  • 33'
    Neither side has had a shot on target yet so far tonight. It's going to be one of those games.
  • 30'
    Ritchie crosses to the far post for Slimani, but Pickford rises well to gather the ball.
  • 27'
    Good defending! Yedlin comes across to make a last-ditch challenge on Walcott as he look to seize on Tosun's reverse pass.
  • 24'
    Perez looks to play a one-two with Slimani on the edge of the box but the return pass is over-hit and the hosts have a goal kick.
  • 22'
    A shot! Perez blazes over from the edge of the box. It's not much, but beggars can't be choosers.
  • 20'
    Long balls in behind the full-back are clearly a tactic of Everton's this evening. They're yet to create anything from it though.
  • 17'
    Shelvey gets in the way to block Bolasie's low effort from the edge of the box.
  • 16'
    Schneiderlin looks to put Walcott in behind with a fantastic 40-yard pass but his ball is over-hit. Walcott applauds the idea, though.
  • 13'
    Kenedy breaks forward down the left and looks to feed Slimani, but Pickford is off his line quickly to gather the pass.
  • 9'
    Good defending from Pickford as he races off his line to clear the ball to safety with Kenedy threatening to outpace Jagielka.
  • 9'
    Baines swings in a free-kick from the left, but Newcastle clear.
  • 7'
    Everton are dominating at the moment with Newcastle not putting enough pressure on the hosts at the sharp end of the pitch.
  • 3'
    Walcott drives forward and whilst his pass is errant, he recovers to stab it into the path of to Tosun 12 yards out. He looks for the far corner but slices his shot and it skews wide.
