    Newcastle boss Steve McClaren to Match of the Day: "The last header of the game. I’m more disappointed for that set of players because they gave everything. You talk about 100% – they gave that.

    "They didn’t deserve to lose. It's a cruel way to do it. All we can do is pick ourselves up. The crowd were magnificent and appreciated that the players gave everything.

    "I thought there was some great defending and Robbie Elliot was great in goal. Some of our attacking play second half - if we’d have scored first we’d probably have won.

    "They’re down. They gave so much. That has to be appreciated. I told them I see a team in there. We’ll win games and get lucky sometimes. If we carry on like that we’ll have a stronger second half."

    Everton boss Roberto Martinez to Match of the Day: "I think the manner we performed was pleasing. We knew Newcastle had been consistent in the last few games. We had a complete performance and created a huge number of good opportunities. To get it with the last kick of the game it feels good emotionally. I thought some of the play was magnificent at times. This is a real kick-start in our season."

    Newcastle midfielder Jack Colback: "It’s a tough one to take. A bitter pill to swallow. That’s football I suppose. They caused us problems. They're a really good team, they move you into positions you don’t want to go to. But we grew into it and came out better in the second half. I'd say a draw would have been fair.

    "It's not been a great year but things have been picking up."

    Everton midfielder Gareth Barry: "It was a fantastic time for Tom to get his first goal. There's no better feeling than a last minute winner.

    "Newcastle feel like they have been mugged, they had the better opportunities in the second half. Elliot has been outstanding in the second half, but his punch wasn't too clever.

    "This should have been a draw, Newcastle are really unlucky but well done to Everton, who stuck at it and won the game."
