Everton managed to earn a vital point in their fight to avoid relegation despite being outplayed for most of the game against Newcastle. The match started with Alexander Isak putting Newcastle ahead in the 15th minute, but they failed to maintain their lead.
Jordan Pickford, the ex-Sunderland goalkeeper, made crucial saves to prevent Newcastle from extending their advantage. However, VAR played a significant role in the game, disallowing a goal from Dan Burn for being offside and awarding Everton a late penalty after a foul by Paul Dummett on Ashley Young.
Despite the draw, Everton extended their winless streak in the Premier League to 13 games, setting a new club record. Manager Sean Dyche expressed hope that Calvert-Lewin’s goal would be the first of many as Everton desperately need more goals to climb out of the relegation battle.
