    • Newcastle United
    • Everton
    • 90' It's all over here. Newcastle record a convincing victory which included a late cameo for Michael Owen on his return to action. Good news for Newcastle and England fans alike.
    • 88' Everton bring on Yakubu for Phil Neville. But it's surely too late.
    • 88' ANOTHER GOAL FOR NEWCASTLE! And it's Michael Owen with a header after getting on to the end of a cross from wide on the right. Game over.
    • 86' Newcastle make a defensive change straight away. Rozenhal is on for Geremi. Smith takes the captain's armband.
    • 78' And now there's action at the other end as Emre appeals for a penalty. The referee waves play on.
    • 74' Both sides decide to make changes - and Owen is on up front for Newcastle. He comes on for Martins as Emre also comes on for Milner and Everton swap Pienaar for Osman. Can the England striker break the deadlock?
    • 70' How long until Michael Owen is introduced to the action by Newcastle? Assuming he's fit, they'll surely put him on. Everton must be thinking of putting Yakubu on too.
    • 68' Hibbert is booked for a later challenge on Milner.
    • 65' ...but N'Zogbia's effort goes straight into the wall.
    • 65' Newcastle win a free-kick about 40 yards from goal. Geremi and N'Zogbia are lining this up...
    • 62' Alan Smith gets his name added to the ref's book after a reckless challenge on Lescott. He's not happy about it but he can't really complain.
    • 56' Jose Enrique fires an ambitious left-footed strike from the edge of the area wide of the goal.
    • 55' The Everton fans look in good spirits after that goal. Will their team sit back now or press for a second? Newcastle look vulnerable at the back.
    • 53' GOAL FOR EVERTON! It's Andy Johnson with a finish from just a yard out after Baines had done brilliantly with a run down the left. Game on.
    • 47' Martins has gone down with an injury. But he looks to be alright. He'll carry on.
    • 46' And the second-half is under way.
    • 46' The teams are out for the second half and Andy Johnson is coming on for Everton.
    • 45' It's half-time here. Newcastle probably just about deserve their lead but Everton have looked dangerous when they do get forward. Nicky Butt is winning the midfield battle with his ex-teammate Phil Neville and has even scored the goal that separates the teams at the break.
    • 43' Yobo with a drive from the edge of the penalty area. A Newcastle defender just manages to get his body in the way.
    • 41' The chance fell to the former Man U man after Smith had unselfishly crossed when he was in a great position down the right side of the Everton penalty area.
    • 40' GOAL FOR NEWCASTLE! It's Nicky Butt with a curling shot from just inside the penalty area. It was more like Beckham than Butt.
    • 39' Now Nicky Butt is turning in the area to shoot. But his strike bobbles into the ground and into Howard's hands.
    • 38' What a chance for Alan Smith. The England forward had a clear shot from the penalty area after being teed-up by his strike partner Martins. His low side-footed strike is deflected for a corner though.
    • 37' Cacapa picked up an injury in the build up to that chance. He picks himself up after some convincing wincing and trots back on to the pitch.
    • 36' Great save by Given as he throws himself into a challenge to get to a loose ball in front of his goal before Pienaar.
    • 34' So close for Newcastle! Lee Carsley almost scored an own-goal trying to clear a Geremi free-kick.
    • 33' Jose Enrique does brilliantly to take the ball off Arteta down the right.
    • 32' Smith has picked up a knock - he's OK to carry on though.
    • 31' But Faye is penalised for tugging at Lescott's shirt.
    • 30' Great run by Milner down the left. He wins the Magpies a corner.
    • 28' Arteta chips the ball towards Lescott but its too high and is cleared away.
    • 27' Everton win a free-kick in a dangerous position wide on the right hand side. Joleon 'Goal Machine' Lescott is up from the back.
    • 25' Pienaar's back on after getting some treatment after that challenge.
    • 23' Butt gets booked for a challenge of Pienaar. It was very late. The ex-England man can't really complain about that.
    • 20' Martins sends a low left-footed shot wide of the goal. He's complaining about something or other now. Anoher chance goes begging for the Nigerian.
    • 15' Possession has been shared pretty evenly in the opening 15 minutes here.
    • 14' Good save by Howard from a low drive from N'Zogbia.
    • 11' Cleared off the line by Faye! Anichebe had nodded the ball goalwards after beating Given to a high ball into the area from Hibbert. So close for Everton.
    • 7' Smith almost puts Martins in again but it's cut out by Yobo just in time. The Newcastle front two are linking up nicely.
    • 5' Chance for Phil Neville! The Everton skipper cuts into a shooting position from the right wing after collecting the ball from Arteta but his effort is deflected off Beye for a corner.
    • 3' Great chance for Newcastle! Smith puts Martins through on goal but the Nigerian steers his left-footed shot wide of the Everton close. A let-off for the away side.
    • 2' Newcastle make a lively start. They win a free-kick in Everton's half which Geremi swings in. But it's cleared for a corner.
    • 1' We're under way here at St James' Park. Newcastle start with Smith and Martins up front. Michael Owen is back on the bench. Everton have left both Yakubu and Johnson on the bench to start with McFadden and Anichebe.
