Calvert-Lewin rescues priceless point from spot after Dummett's brainless foul in box

- SIMON BIRD

IT'S 109 days and 13 games since Everton last won in the Premier League and Sean Dyche's side now face a defining week.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin rescued a hard-earned draw at the death, smashing home an 88th-minute penalty to silence St James' Park.

The last-gasp goal was celebrated with relish by the away fans who know it could be a key moment to build on ahead of a home clash with Burnley and possible further points deduction imminent.

It was a smash-and-grab raid with Newcastle comfortable and heading for victory after Alexander Isak's early strike, and a series of missed chances. But Paul Dummett hauled down Ashley Young, grabbing him by the neck in the box, and the game yielded a point for the visitors.

It was a bitter blow for Eddie Howe's side, who were minutes away from securing seventh place with back-to-back wins.

The Geordies are chaotic, inconsistent and injury-ravaged at the moment.

Isak grabbed his 19th of the campaign to embarrass Everton's defence with his dribbling skills.
