As expected, Anthony Gordon was front and centre of the drama, a forward who decided to leave Everton in search of more success at Newcastle.
On this occasion, Gordon wasn’t quite successful, missing a penalty that was correctly awarded in the first half when James Tarkowski needlessly wrestled Sandro Tonali to the ground.
Gordon stepped up and looked overwhelmed by the moment in truth, with Jordan Pickford saving easily once he had dived the right way.
That being said, Everton felt as if they should have been awarded a penalty themselves when Dominic Calvert-Lewin was upended by Dan Burn in the second half.
After some good work in the middle, Dwight McNeil slipped Calvert-Lewin in one on one, with Nick Pope saving his initial effort.
And when the striker tried to follow up on the rebound, Burn halted his progress, a fair challenge in the eyes of the referee.
