Newcastle United missed the opportunity to claim back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time since December after drawing 1-1 against Everton at St James' Park.
The Magpies led through Alexander Isak's early opener, however, couldn't hold out for three points following Dominic Calvert-Lewin's 88th minute penalty.
Eddie Howe made four changes to the side that beat West Ham United 4-3 with the injured Jamaal Lascelles and Tino Livramento absent along with the suspended Anthony Gordon. Joe Willock dropped to the bench with Emil Krafth, Lewis Hall, Elliot Anderson and Harvey Barnes brought into the starting XI.
The Magpies capitalised on their fast start by taking the lead in the 15th minute when a lofted ball over the top by Barnes was finished off by Isak after the Swede calmly cut inside to slot the ball past Jordan Pickford and into the bottom right corner.
United thought they had grabbed a second in the 58th minute when a quickly taken free-kick by Jacob Murphy was put into the box by Isak and finished off by Dan Burn. But following a VAR check, Isak was flagged offside and it remained 1-0.
Everton immediately introduced James Garner, Andre Gomes and Calvert-Lewin and it was the latter that equalised late on. A VAR check saw substitute Paul Dummett penalised for a foul on Ashley Young and Calvert-Lewin made no mistake from the spot.
Here's our Newcastle United player ratings from the 1-1 draw at St James' Park:
1. Martin Dubravka - 6
Remained alert in open play but couldn’t keep out Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s penalty, despite getting a hand to it. Looked a little hesitant at his line at times.
2. Emil Krafth - 5
Had some unconvincing moments defensively and struggled to make an impact going forward. His first Premier League start for almost two years.
3. Fabian Schar - 6
Was steady for most parts and put in a vital challenge to deny Vitaliy Mykolenko. Dealt well with Everton’s front line.
4. Dan Burn - 8
Captain for the night and certainly led by example. Outstanding defensively up against Everton’s height and physicality. Had a goal unfortunately chalked off for offside.
