NEWCASTLE (4-3-3):

6 Pope: Made an important save from Calvert-Lewin, but will feel he should have done better for McNeil’s goal

8 Trippier: Led by example when Newcastle were under pressure in the first half and delivered some fine balls into the box

8 Schar: Produced a dominant defensive display and was only denied a sensational long-range goal by an offside that was not his fault

7 Botman: Was always on top against Calvert-Lewin, winning tackles and mopping up effectively at the heart of the backline

6 Targett: Battled away gamely on his return to the starting side, but was outmuscled by Iwobi as Everton threatened in the second half

8 Guimaraes: Ran the game for most of the second half and played some fine balls through the Everton defence

7 Longstaff: Shook off a first-half knock to deliver his usual effective and energetic midfield display

8 Willock: Ran Everton ragged down the left in the second half and produced a great run and cross for Joelinton’s goal

6 Almiron: Was always a willing runner, but wasn’t really able to produce any finesse in the final third

9 WILSON: Scored two contrasting goals – one was a fine poacher’s effort and the other was a sensational long-range strike

8 Joelinton: Claimed an assist and a goal – was always looking to break purposefully into the 18-yard box


Subs:

7 Murphy (for Almiron, 67): Now boasts three goals in the space of two games after he nodded in from close range

6 Burn (for Targett, 67): Defended effectively, but strayed offside to prevent Schar’s goal from counting

Isak (for Longstaff, 74)

Gordon (for Wilson, 87)

Anderson (for Willock, 87)

(not used): Dubravka (gk), Manquillo, Lascelles, Ritchie.


Man Of The Match: CALLUM WILSON – Newcastle’s number nine continued his fine recent run with two more goals and led the line effectively throughout.
