Callum Wilson’s double ends dire Newcastle run with victory at Everton

9.49am EST 09:49

Some straight talking from Everton captain Seamus Coleman. “It’s obviously a massive disappointment for us. You’ve got to outfight the opposition in this league and today Newcastle wanted it more, which for us isn’t good. But that’s what happened today. As a team, and as individuals, we weren’t up for the fight as much as Newcastle. Words are easy, but it’s all about actions. Ancelotti is not happy, but what happens in the dressing room will stay between us. Newcastle fully deserved it.”

9.43am EST 09:43

A content Steve Bruce speaks to BT. “When you come here you have to play well to get something. We’ve seen signs against Villa and Leeds. Getting people back fit has been really important for us. But the way they went about their work today was excellent, because it’s been a tough few weeks to say the least, and that’ll give them confidence. We’ve played a certain way for a long, long time, to play deep and play on the counter, it’s something we’ve tried to work on and change. It was good to see them play well. All round, we had some really big players. They all played their part. When we’re all right, we know we’re OK!”

9.31am EST 09:31

Callum Wilson, man of the match without question, talks to BT Sport. “It’s been a long time coming. We’ve needed to pull our fingers out, to be honest. We’ve shown glimpses over this run of playing better, but today it all came together, with the result as well. Games were going by, we were slipping down the league, we had four or five defeats which is not nice as a footballer. But today everyone to a man stood up to the challenge. I’m a bit disappointed I didn’t get a hat-trick. I’m critical of myself, and I’ll take the two, but should have had three! It was nice to get a performance for Steve Bruce, and for the fans at home.”

FULL TIME: Everton 0-2 Newcastle United

A brilliant win for Newcastle! Much needed, too. They’re still in 16th spot, but nine points clear of the relegation zone, their losing streak now a thing of the past. Everton meanwhile remain in seventh.

90 min +4: Wilson has been sensational from start to finish, and thoroughly deserves his two-goal haul. Newcastle deserve this result, too. They’ve played excellently this afternoon. A lot of it very easy on the eye, as well. Everton by contrast deserve nothing. They’ve been extremely poor.

9.22am EST 09:22

GOAL! Everton 0-2 Newcastle United (Wilson 90 +3)

Newcastle break from the Everton corner. Saint-Maximin creams a pass up the left touchline to release Lewis into acres. Everton have committed everyone upfield, and there’s nobody back. Lewis curls into the middle for Wilson, all alone. He takes a touch and lashes the ball past Pickford to seal the points for the Toon!

9.21am EST 09:21

90 min +2: Shelvey takes. It’s a decent whip, but always sailing over the bar. Everton go up the other end, Digne winning a corner out on the left. Newcastle deal with it. So much so that …

9.19am EST 09:19

90 min +1: Keane bundles Wilson to the ground. The Newcastle striker takes a professional amount of time to get back up. Free kick, the best part of 30 yards out.

9.18am EST 09:18

89 min: First up, VAR checks a coming together off the ball between old pals Mina and Wilson. Nothing wrong with that. And there’s to be no upgrade on Hendrick’s yellow either. We play on.

9.17am EST 09:17

88 min: Nothing comes of the corner, and Everton breathe again. They try to break upfield. Hendrick goes after a loose ball and plants his studs on Richarlison’s boot. Just a yellow, though VAR is going to take another look.

9.16am EST 09:16

87 min: Shelvey plays a cute pass in from the left for Almiron, who slides Wilson clear. Wilson rounds Pickford on the left, but his shot from a tight angle hits the upright. The ball clanks off Mina and out for a corner. So close to sealing what would be a deserved victory!

9.14am EST 09:14

85 min: It’s Newcastle’s turn to win a corner. Nothing comes of it, but they’re 60 seconds closer to ending their losing run with an unexpected win.

9.13am EST 09:13

84 min: Darlow prepares to take the goal kick at glacial speed, and is booked for his cheek.

9.12am EST 09:12

83 min: Digne crosses low from the left. Hayden blocks the ball onto Richarlison, and it flies out for a goal kick.

9.11am EST 09:11

82 min: Corner for Everton out on the left. Darlow, a different man from the bag of nerves during the early exchanges, punches clear. Digne tries to return it spectacularly, but that one’s deep in the Gwladys.

9.09am EST 09:09

80 min: James, quarterbacking from deep, tries to find Richarlison with a long pass down the middle. He does find him, though only by blootering the ball slap-bang in his startled face. A proper slapstick comic cut.

9.08am EST 09:08

79 min: James is booked for a frustrated swipe at Almiron’s heels.

9.07am EST 09:07

78 min: So having said that, Coleman weaves dangerously down the right and fires low into the mixer. Schar does extremely well to block with a telescopic leg, blue shirts lurking behind him.

9.06am EST 09:06

77 min: Newcastle seem pretty comfortable right now. On the touchline, Carlo Ancelotti and Duncan Ferguson stare blankly at a spot exactly one thousand yards ahead.

9.04am EST 09:04

75 min: Saint-Maximin diddles Keane with a breathtaking twist and spin. The spirit of Diego Maradona lives forever.

9.03am EST 09:03

74 min: Everton respond through Calvert-Lewin, who drives down the left and wins a corner off Manquillo. But the visitors deal with the set piece easily.

9.02am EST 09:02

GOAL! Everton 0-1 Newcastle United (Wilson 73)

Shelvey sends an outswinger towards Wilson, 12 yards out, level with the right-hand post. Wilson rises high, pivots, and steers a glorious header across the despairing Pickford and into the bottom left!

72 min: Hendrick wins a corner for Newcastle out on the right. And from that …

Updated at 9.00am EST

8.59am EST 08:59

70 min: So much for Everton’s second wind. They’re struggling to string more than a couple of passes together. Gomes tries to get things started by pushing a pass down the inside-left channel for James, but it’s too forceful and sails out for a goal kick.

8.57am EST 08:57

68 min: Saint-Maximin’s first act is to send Hayden into space on the left. A corner’s won. Nothing comes from it.

8.56am EST 08:56

67 min: Here comes Newcastle’s not-so-secret weapon. Saint-Maximin replaces the quiet Fraser. If Saint-Maximin has half the impact he had against Leeds, Everton will have a few problems to solve in the next 20 minutes or so.

8.54am EST 08:54

65 min: James crosses from the right. Schar does well to divert the ball away from Richarlison at the far post. Gomes picks up the second ball and wins a corner, but the set piece is no good whatsoever. The first signs of an Everton recovery, though.

8.52am EST 08:52

63 min: Wilson and Shelvey cause some more bother in the Everton box. Everton hold their shape, but they visitors are getting on top now. A change, then: Iwobi makes way for Gomes.

8.51am EST 08:51

61 min: Hendrick’s work down the left earns a corner off Mina. Before it’s taken, Keane is booked for a foul earlier in the move. The corner leads to another from the right. Shelvey wants a penalty when his hook hits the nearby Doucoure on the arm, but the referee is quite correctly not interested.

8.48am EST 08:48

60 min: Shelvey sashays away from two blue shirts in the centre circle and drives down the middle. His pass wide for Lewis isn’t so fancy, and the move breaks down. But after a slow start to the second half, Newcastle are beginning to find their rhythm again.

8.47am EST 08:47

58 min: Manquillo and Sigurdsson accidentally kick each other while competing for a loose ball. Newcastle get the benefit of the decision. The free kick’s flung in from the right. Schar and Richarlison clatter into each other, the Everton man coming off worse, but after some medical attention he’s up and on his feet again.

8.45am EST 08:45

56 min: After a fashion, the corner leads to some pinball in the Newcastle box. Calvert-Lewin tries to poke something goalward, but Clark blocks.

8.44am EST 08:44

55 min: Calvert-Lewin cuts in from the left and curls powerfully towards the bottom right. Darlow fingertips around the post. Corner.

8.43am EST 08:43

54 min: Lascelles goes down, but doesn’t make a fuss. He quickly leaves the field of play, to be replaced by Clark.

8.42am EST 08:42

53 min: Space for Fraser out on the right. He curls into the centre for Wilson, who strides into the box ahead of the Everton back line! Wilson meets the ball first time, sending a sidefoot across Pickford and inches wide of the left-hand post. What a chance that was!

8.41am EST 08:41

52 min: Everton are taking it smooth and slow. Yacht rock in football form.

8.39am EST 08:39

51 min: Newcastle haven’t rediscovered their first-half verve yet. It’s all Everton, albeit with very little of the action unfolding in the final third.

8.38am EST 08:38

49 min: Digne, out on the left, fires a diagonal pass to James, who cushions into the path of Calvert-Lewin. The striker has the ball at his feet, just inside the box. He can’t quite sort it all out, and falls over, hoping to get a penalty decision. We’ll never know about that, because it turns out James was a fraction offside.

8.36am EST 08:36

47 min: Everton hog possession early doors. James slips wide left to Richarlison, who hooks into the middle, hoping to find Calvert-Lewin. Lascelles heads clear, just in time.

8.33am EST 08:33

Everton get the second half underway. No changes, though Allan Saint-Maximin has been warming up.

8.21am EST 08:21

Arsenal v Manchester United: match preview

8.19am EST 08:19

HALF TIME: Everton 0-0 Newcastle United

The teams trudge off. Newcastle will be happy with their neat, fresh football. Everton not so much. Big team-talks coming up. Nicely poised for some second-half fun.

8.18am EST 08:18

45 min +2: Richarlison aims a forensic shot towards the top left. Inches wide and high. Frustration is written all over his face.

8.15am EST 08:15

45 min: There will be three additional minutes of first-half action.

8.14am EST 08:14

44 min: Everton try to play it out from the back. They get themselves in all sorts of trouble, Newcastle pressing high and hard. Hayden steals the ball on the edge of the box and takes a shot, but falls backwards in doing so. The ball dribbles apologetically to Pickford.

8.13am EST 08:13

43 min: Lascelles is clipped by Sigurdsson, who jumped into a 50-50 with studs showing. Having just been booked, he needs to take care.

8.12am EST 08:12

42 min: Newcastle take their sweet time over a free kick in their own half. The ref has a word with captain Lascelles, theatrically tapping his wrist.

8.10am EST 08:10

40 min: James is down again, in the throes of agony. He’s been clipped on the foot by Hayden this time. There doesn’t seem to be too much in this one, though, and the referee waits patiently for the Everton man to get back up.

8.09am EST 08:09

38 min: Newcastle are playing some very nice football. This time it’s Almiron who shows what he can do, bustling down the right a couple of times. One cross, hit on the turn while surrounded by blue shirts, was little short of sensational, though Lewis couldn’t take it down at the far stick, under pressure from Coleman.

8.06am EST 08:06

36 min: Richarlison is this close to planting a curler into the top-right corner. Darlow was beaten, but the ball sails an inch or so wide.

8.05am EST 08:05

35 min: Shelvey looks for the top right but welts the ball high over the bar. He has the good grace to hang his head in shame. Everton go up the other end, Calvert-Lewin flicking neatly to James, who enters the box from the right and bashes a shot into Darlow’s chest. A good game, this, now.

8.04am EST 08:04

34 min: Wilson continues to shine. Some cute footwork deep in his own half earns some space and time to launch an attack. Newcastle ping it up the left wing, Hendrick and Lewis combining well. The ball’s slipped infield to that man Wilson, who spins Sigurdsson and is upended just to the left of the D. Sigurdsson goes into the book. It’s a free kick in a very dangerous position.

8.02am EST 08:02

32 min: That was a fine reaction save by Pickford. Pure instinct. Wilson flashed that header at him from close range. The Newcastle striker looks in the mood today.

8.00am EST 08:00

30 min: Hendrick whistles the corner towards Wilson by the near post. Wilson flicks goalwards. Pickford fingertips onto the crossbar and out for another corner. The second one is a non-event, but that’s the closest either side has come to opening the scoring.
