    • - Thanks for joining us today.... it's been a great day of action. Until next time...
    • 90'+3 There goes the full time whistle and Newcastle win a point!
    • 89' Yakubu! No! The Nigerian's header is saved by Given! So close once again!
    • 88' At the other end, Ameobi tries a side-footer of his own! It's close, although not as close as Anichebe's effort...
    • 87' Anichebe! Oooh! That's inches wide of the post! Super side-footer from the young substitute!
    • 84' Vaughan comes on to replace Pienaar...
    • 83' The crowd want a penalty here! Yakubu gets on the end of through ball after a lovely passing move... his shot goes wide of the mark, but Anichebe hits the deck as he tries to reach it! Play on says the ref.
    • 78' Ooooh! Newcastle so close to taking the lead! Ameobi's run into the box carves open the Everton defence... he lays off for Ameobi! Must be! No! Baines gets back to clear off the line!
    • 75' Newcastle make another change... Ameobi on for Geremi.
    • 73' A booking for Fellaini is swiftly followed by a yellow for Geremi.
    • 72' Everton make a change... Anichebe comes on to replace Saha, who's still finding full fitness.
    • 71' Chance for Owen! Oooh! He can't convert from close range after Coloccini wins a header from a corner!
    • 69' Nothing comes of the corner, but Everton are soon back on the front foot in search of a winner.
    • 68' Yakubu wins another Everton corner as the hosts ramp it up a bit!
    • 65' Oooh! That's better from Everton! Arteta feeds Osman, who turns and runs onto it before unleashing a first time strike that Given turns round for a corner! Super effort!
    • 63' Everton fans are getting a little frustrated now... understandably so - their team have done little in an attacking sense this half.
    • 60' Half an hour remaining and you get the feeling there's goals left in this one.
    • 56' This really is impossible to call...
    • 54' Duff takes it to the near post... oh dear! Saha very nearly slices a clearance into his own net!
    • 53' Corner to Everton as Lescott blocks Geremi's shot from the edge of the box!
    • 48' This match has been turned on its head completely! It's anyone's game now.
    • 47' Joe Kinnear, having missed his side's first, also missed that one! He's still on his way up to the stands from the dressing rooms!
    • 46' GOAL! What a start to the second half for Newcastle! Taylor takes advantage of some slack Everton defending to get to the by-line before pulling the back back across the face of goal where Duff fires home with a sweet first-time shot! 2-2 now and Newcastle are right back in this one!
    • 46' Second half underway at Goodison!
    • 45'+2 There goes the half time whistle! Newcastle have a lifeline... it'll be interesting to see how the hosts react after the break!
    • 45'+2 GOAL! Taylor pops up in the Everton box to breathe life into Newcastle! The Toon defender rises at the far post to meet Geremi's deep cross and thunder a header in off the underside of the bar! 2-1 now and that changes everything!
    • 44' Butt is back on his feet again... and he's soon back in the action as he trips Saha as the Everton forward threatens to race away. Yellow for Butt.
    • 41' Butt goes down under a challange from Fellaini... and the Toon midfielder looks like he's in quite some pain. It's his back that's giving him some problems.
    • 39' It gets worse for Newcastle... Jose Enrique can't even make a half of football and is replaced by Bassong in the left-back position.
    • 38' This is a real test of character for Newcastle now...
    • 35' GOAL! Everton work the ball brilliantly on the left hand side to give Baines the opportunity to send over a cross which Fellaini stretches a leg out to prod the ball past Given! Two-nil and the miseruy continues for the Toon!
    • 32' Pienaar sends over a low cross now, which Yakubu gets on the end of! But the Nigerian's effort goes the wrong side of the post and the danger passes.
    • 29' Oh dear! A comedy mix up at the back for Newcastle nearly sees them concede another! Coloccini attempts to clear the ball but only succeeds in hitting his own man... the ball loops dangerously close to the upright!
    • 24' A yellow card is flashed in the direction of N'Zogbia for a challenge on Saha.
    • 23' Oooh! Hairy moments for Everton! First Duff runs onto a through pass and fires a first time effort which is saved by Howard! The ball falls to Owen who lays off for Guthrie! His shot is saved again before the rebound drops to Taylor! Chested off the line! Great action!
    • 20' Lescott will get a talking to here after a clumsy challenge on Butt.
    • 18' That is just what the Everton doctor ordered to calm any nerves. But it just keeps on getting worse for Newcastle...
    • 17' GOAL! ARTETA DRAWS FIRST BLOOD! Coolly converted penalty from the Toffees' skipper and Everton lead 1-0!
    • 16' PENALTY TO EVERTON! Terribly timed tackle from Nicky Butt as Baines burst into the box... and referee Howard Webb points to the spot!
    • 14' Geremi sends a long ball looking for Owen... Howard comes off his line and claims just before the little striker can reach it.
    • 12' Taylor piles into Pienaar, not for the first time today... and the Newcastle defender gets a little talking to from the referee.
    • 11' Yakubu plays the ball across the face of the Toon box... Osman's there to strike one first time! Well blocked this time...
    • 10' Bright sunshine on Merseyside today, by the way... in stark contrast to yesterday's weather in the north-west.
    • 7' The ball falls for Yakubu in the box! But it just runs away from him... he can't quite wrap his foot around the ball and his shot goes wide of the mark!
    • 5' Pienaar wins a free kick after Coloccini slides in a little rashly right on the edge of the Newcastle box... Arteta takes it, but the Spaniard's effort is over the bar.
    • 4' Pienaar sends a ball through to Yakubu, whose first touch takes him into the box... but his shot is wide of the mark!
    • 3' Everton on the attack straight away... Yakubu feeds Saha, but the Frenchman's control lets him down and his shot is easily blocked.
    • 2' Joe Kinnear is in the director's box today... he's completing a two-match touchline ban.
    • 1' So, here we go! The clash of the crisis clubs gets underway!
