Image source, ReutersFabricio Coloccini has just put a knee into Romelu Lukaku's back.
Nothing malicious, I think, but that doesn't make the Everton striker feel any better.
He is lying flat on his front and receiving treatment.

Newcastle aren't in this early on.
Have they left their half? Barely.
Everton certainly aren't looking a team short of confidence as they toy with their opponents early on.
GREAT SAVE!published at 4 mins

Great move from the hosts.
Ross Barkley cuts in from the left, plays it to Romelu Lukaku with his back to goal.
The striker lays the ball off to Tom Cleverly and his low strike is turned wide goalkeeper Rob Elliot.

Everton v Newcastle (19:45 GMT)
Image source, .Where have Newcastle's problems been this season?
At both end sadly for them.
They have scored just seven goals in their last 17 Premier League away matches and have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last eight top-flight games.
Still, a win does lift them out of the drop zone...
