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.
