And Goodison was at its fearsome best - or worst if you were former Everton forward Anthony Gordon following his acrimonious departure for Newcastle in January 2023 - in a feisty goalless draw on Saturday evening.

The points were shared after Newcastle’s Anthony Gordon failed from the spot against his former club Everton. Full time! Everton 0-0 Newcastle 19:40 Newcastle will be left to rue the Gordon penalty miss and the fact they did not have a proper striker to finish all the chances they created.

Anthony Gordon’s penalty miss is the big talking point. 45+3 mins: Joelinton strides up the pitch and gets into the box before losing possession to Ashley Young. Newcastle are winning the midfield battle but Everton are being stubborn in defence.
