Game over. Not a memorable match but three points for Everton.
Everton 1-0 Newcastle
Seamus Coleman almost scores an own goal! He does very well to clear a dangerous swinging ball ahead of Dwight Gayle but it almost flew into the top corner of his own net.
Everton 1-0 Newcastle
Ayoze Perez' flailing arm seemed to have smacked Leighton Baines on the face and he's covered in blood.
He's had to go off to receive some treatment.

Kenedy is a lucky boy, he was the aggressor, he put two hands in the face of Gana Gueye and you can't do that.
Everton 1-0 Newcastle
There is five minutes of added time...
A goal in each minute please?
Everton 1-0 Newcastle
A scuffle then breaks out on the touchline and Idrissa Gueye and Kenedy are shown a yellow card each.

Ayoze Perez has space on the left but his ball into the middle is nowhere near a Newcastle player and it's an easy clearance for Wayne Rooney.

Ruairi: Rafa is underrated and undervalued. I know the Geordies love him but he's wasted at that level. He is capable of leading a title challenge, just not with this Newcastle team.

I think the only groan we will get in the stadium tonight is if the referee puts more than three minutes added time on at the end.
Everton 1-0 Newcastle
Tom Davies picks up the ball in the middle after an unfortunate slip and he has so many options but instead plays a terrible ball behind Oumar Niasse and it's another chance wasted.

Imer: I don't understand where Everton fans expect their team to be. They're 8th, behind the top 6, a Burnley team who had a very good season, and the champions of 2 seasons ago. Evertonians should be happy, especially with their average squad!
Everton 1-0 Newcastle
Newcastle players are appealing for a penalty after it ricochets into Phil Jagielka's arm but Bobby Madley is having none of it.
DeAndre Yedlin then somehow misses the ball and ends up on the floor.
Everton 1-0 Newcastle
There's been a lot of sloppiness in this game but with five minutes of normal time left to play, can Newcastle conjure up some qualify?

Dimos: Sanchez scored on Saturday, Giroud yesterday, Walcott today. Probably I’ll put a tender on Ox to score tomorrow. #ilovepatterns
Everton 1-0 Newcastle
Jonjo Shelvey heads off as Mikel Merino comes on and the former Liverpool midfielder is booed off by the Goodison crowd.
Apparently Gareth Southgate is watching tonight - Shelvey has given quite a good account of himself tonight.

Bradley: Honestly thought this game would have no more than one goal in it. Not the clash I thought it was gonna be like I said earlier.
Everton 1-0 Newcastle
Leighton Baines puts in a great tackle to win the ball for Everton and they try to break forward through Dominic Calvert-Lewin but it's defended well by Jonjo Shelvey.

Pete: Not my quote, but read somewhere that Allardyce was our lifeboat. But having saved us, who goes back out sailing in a lifeboat? Horrible season, horrible football. Get rid.
Everton 1-0 Newcastle
Matt Ritchie goes off and Jacob Murphy replaces him.
