    Despite playing half the game with 10 men, Newcastle held on for a point in a goalless draw with Everton at St James' Park. More

    • Everton
    • - Thanks for joining us today... a decent point for Newcastle in the circumstances... Hull v Newcastle on Monday night - see you then!
    • 90'+4 There it is! All over and Everton pass up on the chance to close the gap on Arsenal by more than a point!
    • 90' Poor second half from Everton... disappointing.
    • 86' Fellaini goes into the book for an off the ball incident with Butt... that's his 11th of the season... he's not even a dirty player!
    • 84' Saha fancies his chances here! He turns and runs at the heart of the Newcastle defence... but his shot is wild and Harper breathes a sigh of relief.
    • 82' Time is running out for Everton to grab a winner here... but they're not really looking likely at the moment.
    • 78' Jo! Oooh! The Brazilian gets a free header, but he can only direct it straight at Harper!
    • 77' Alan Smith is about to make an entrance! Haven't seen him all season! Off goes Lovenkrands, no doubt to contemplate his glaring miss in the first half.
    • 74' Here comes Saha... to replace Gosling.
    • 73' But here's Newcastle on the break... Martins plays in Gutierrez who hares off downfield... he attempts to chip Howard but his effort goes over the bar! A warning to Everton nevertheless!
    • 72' Louis Saha looks like he's coming on to add some firepower to Everton's attack...
    • 71' Steven Taylor goes in for an aerial challenge with Gosling... the Everton man goes down but Taylor escapes reprimand by the ref.
    • 70' Just 20 minutes remaining and still no breakthrough for Everton.
    • 65' Lovenkrands escapes a yellow card after a late-ish challenge on Baines...
    • 61' Everton still dominating possession this half... hardly surprising given Newcastle have a man less.
    • 58' Here comes Obafemi Martins to a huge roar from the Tyneside faithful.... and it's Ameobi who is brought off at his expense.
    • 58' Fellaini and Lescott are there, but Butt manages to clear for Newcastle!
    • 57' Jagielka wins a corner for Everton as the Toffees look for the opener... Baines to take it.
    • 55' Good work from Ameobi now as Newcastle look to break... but his final ball looking for the run of Steven Taylor doesn't reach its intended target and Everton will be able to come forward again.
    • 51' Taylor whips it in... but Howard is there to punch clear!
    • 50' Gutierrez shows what he's capable of, running Jagielka inside and out before the England man is forced to haul him down... free-kick to Newcastle.
    • 48' The ball falls to Yobo on the edge of the area... he takes a touch, comes back inside and lets fly with a decent strike at goal! But it's over the bar and Harper isn't called into action.
    • 46' And, as expected, Newcastle have made a change at the break... Gutierrez is on at the expense of Duff.
    • 46' Back underway at St James' Park!
    • 45'+8 There goes the half-time whistle! Goalless at the break, but with Newcastle down to 10 men, the second half promises a breakthrough.
    • 45'+7 Anichebe can't continue... and he's replaced by Fellaini, who enters the fray in the seventh minute of time added on at the end of the first half!
    • 45'+3 Rodwell attempts a header from a standing position on the edge of the box... but it lacks power and Harper is able to deal with it easily.
    • 45' Thankfully, Anichebe is able to get up on his own... he hobbles off for further treatment.
    • 44' NOLAN'S SENT OFF! The Scouser jumps in on the ankle of Anichebe with an appalling tackle... and the ref produces a straight red! Deserved, that was a potential leg breaker... Newcastle down to 10 men and they can have no complaints at all.
    • 41' The ball's in the back of the Everton net! But it won't count... Bassong fouls Howard as the pair challenge for an high ball! Not too many complaints...
    • 39' Ameobi gets his head to a cross into the box! But it rather glances off his forehead and the ball goes wide of the far post!
    • 36' Not bad from the former Wigan man! He gets it up and over the wall, but the ball whistles about a yard wide of Howard's goal.
    • 35' Butt dinks the ball over Lescott, whose hand gets in the way... free-kick to Newcastle, right on the edge of the Everton box! Ryan Taylor over it...
    • 32' Newcastle won't have a better chance than that all afternoon... and Lovenkrands may come to rue that miss.
    • 31' What a miss! Lovenkrands is played in on goal by some lovely vision by Butt! He tries to pick the bottom left corner, but the ball flies the wrong side of the post!
    • 29' Off the post! Rodwell arrives at the back post to meet the corner and sidefoots a volley against a combination of the post and Ryan Taylor!
    • 28' Everton are on top here... Rodwell makes a dart forward and wins a corner off Coloccini.
    • 25' Mark Viduka gets a cheer as he gets off the bench to do a spot of warming up...
    • 22' Jo tries to latch onto a long ball forward, but Lescott is there to mop up the danger.
    • 20' And then Jagielka is picked out at the far post! But the defender slices his volley wide of the upright!
    • 19' Ooh! Everton nearly take the lead! Only a superb save by Harper denies Yobo a cute glancing header at the near post!
    • 16' The news coming from the dressing room is not good for Everton... Arteta's got ligament damage and he's in quite some pain.
    • 15' Castillo! Oooh! Not a bad effort by the substitute! He latches onto a loose ball on the edge of the box but his shot flies wide of the upright!
    • 12' A Newcastle free-kick into the Everton box sparks mild panic, but the visitors get a free-kick and the pressure eases.
    • 9' Fortunately not... Rodwell's back on his feet and Everton don't have to deal with a second injury before we've even got 10 minutes on the clock!
    • 8' What's going on?! Now Rodwell hits the deck clutching his knee after a challenge by Ryan Taylor! Surely not another casualty so early?
    • 7' He's off! Arteta is stretchered off... Segundo Castillo comes on to replace the stricken Spaniard.
    • 5' Arteta's still down... he won't be able to continue, surely.
    • 3' This doesn't look good for Everton... Arteta hits the deck in some pain after a collision with Lovenkrands and he's immediately signalling for the trainer...
    • 1' Gosling takes full advantage of a slip by Ryan Taylor... he sets off towards goal and lets fly! Just wide of Harper's upright, but a statement of intent from the visitors nevertheless!
    • 1' Here we go! Underway at St James'!
    • - Everton boss David Moyes brings in Joseph Yobo and Jo as Tim Cahill and Tony Hibbert are both suspended.
    • - Newcastle striker Obafemi Martins returns to the bench but otherwise Chris Hughton names an unchanged side.
    • - Hello and welcome to eurosport.yahoo.com's LIVE coverage of today's big game at St James' Park!
