Newcastle 1-2 Everton: Dominic Calvert-Lewin double sees off Magpies

Published on: 28 December 2019

Dominic Calvert-Lewin has scored five goals in his past five games in the Premier League - as many as in his previous 28

Dominic Calvert-Lewin's double saw off Newcastle at St James' Park to make it two wins from two for Carlo Ancelotti at the start of his tenure at Everton.

The 22-year-old striker scored the only goal against Burnley on Boxing Day to give the Italian the "perfect" start to his reign and again produced a brilliant display in attack.

His opener was a classic poacher's goal - poking home after Gylfi Sigurdsson's deflected strike fortuitously arrived in front of him.

Newcastle improved and after Miguel Almiron struck the post, they equalised when Fabian Schar fired home a volley from Andy Carroll's nod-down.

But six minutes after setting up the equaliser, Carroll's mistake led to Everton's winner.

Theo Walcott dispossessed the striker and played a pass out wide to Richarlison. The Brazilian sped down the right and delivered an excellent low cross for Calvert-Lewin, who slid in and scrambled home.

The Toffees move above the Magpies into 10th, with their opponents - level on 25 points - now down in 11th.
