Dwight McNeil (On for Gray 79’) N/A.
NEWCASTLE RATINGS: Nick Pope 7: Nothing to do in opening 45 minutes as Everton had one attempt on goal and none on target. Same story after break as, despite more possession, Everton failed to register another attempt. Getty
Kieran Trippier 8: Newcastle’s captain is in superb form both defensively and offensively at the moment. Works well with Almiron down right and his delivery on crosses is always a threat. getty
Fabian Schar 8: Booked for shoving Gordon after fracas just before half-time was rare moment of Swiss defender losing cool. Helped secure the Magpies another clean sheet and also showed his confidence with a few surging runs forward out from the back. PA
Sven Botman 8: The ice man at the heart of Newcastle’s defence who helped keep Clavert-Lewin very quiet and continues to look a superb signing for Eddie Howe's team. Getty
Dan Burn 8: Big left-back up against lively opponent in Gordon but did well with Everton winger switching flanks after break. Headed Trippier corner wide of target just before half-time. Getty
Sean Longstaff 5: Frustrating game for Geordie midfielder after playing well at Old Trafford, with too many sloppy passes, as well as being caught in possession a couple of times – one of which when an early shot was on and chance went begging. Reuters
Joelinton 6: Booked for cynical foul on Onana in first half when Brazilian’s passing radar was off-kilter. Picked up knock and failed to appear for second half which will be concern for Magpies. Reuters
Bruno Guimaraes 8: Teed-up Almiron’s goal with simple pass into teammate’s path then should have put Newcastle two-up minutes later but pulled shot wide. Closer later in half with side-footed finish flashing just past post. Ran centre of park. Reuters
Jacob Murphy 7: Winger nearly opened scoring in first 10 minutes, cutting in from left and sending shot just over bar. Enjoying his run in team at moment and given well-earned ovation when taken off in second half. PA
Miguel Almiron 8: Wonderful curling first-time finish over Pickford to put Newcastle in front with his fourth goal in four games. Sent another curling effort wide of goal just after half-time and is currently in best form since moving to Tyneside. Getty
Callum Wilson 7: Saw difficult headed chance from just inside box easily saved by Pickford in first half. Involved in angry confrontation with Gordon just before break, had ambitious overhead kick blocked by Coady just after. Led line well but no clear opportunities on goal. PA
SUBS: Joe Willock (On for Joelinton 46’) 6: Had head in his hands after failing to get head on one superb whipped in Trippier free-kick. Headed a cross from fellow substitute Anderson wide. Reuters
Ryan Fraser (On for Almiron 73’) 6: Left limping after nasty Tarkowski tackle. EPA
Elliot Anderson (On for Muprhy 73’) 6: Tried to get Newcastle back on front foot after coming on with some attacking runs. PA
Chris Wood (On for Wilson 87’) N/A. EPA
EVERTON RATINGS: Jordan Pickford 7: Former Sunderland goalkeeper was given his usual ‘warm’ reception from home fans. No chance with Almiron’s quality finish. Reuters
Seamus Coleman 7: One vital clearance from Wilson cross with Murphy poised to finish and generally did well against the latter who is a pacey customer. EPA
James Tarkowski 7: Given pat on back by teammates for blocking cross with Newcastle players lining up in middle as home side stepped up pressure following goal. Booked for poor challenge on Newcastle substitute Fraser. Getty
Conor Coady 7: In right place to block acrobatic Wilson attempt early in second half and generally a solid night’s work from England centre-half. Getty
Vitaly Mykolenko 5: Ukrainian full-back nowhere to be seen as Almiron had time and space to put Magpies in front. Allowed Paraguayan to cut inside and fire shot just wide of target in second half. PA
Idrissa Gueye 6: Midfielder, now back in second spell at club, allowed Guimaraes too much time to boss middle of park, particularly in first half. Booked for hauling down Wilson. AP
Amadou Onana 6: Didn’t cover himself with glory going down holding head in first half after minimal contact from Wilson. Some nice give-and-goes with teammates but nothing cutting edge or capable of cutting through well organised home defence. Getty
Alex Iwobi 6: Little influence in first half but, like Everton as whole, came into the game just after half-time and caused home team a few problems before being replaced. Reuters
Anthony Gordon 6: Back in team following suspension and picked up another booking just before break after reacting furiously to Newcastle accusations of diving following Burn challenge. Lucky not to see red for foul on Anderson in second half. Getty
Demarai Gray 7: Needed more defensively first half with Trippier and Almiron causing problems down Everton’s left flank. Fanstastic run just after break when he left Trippier for dead but Newcastle cleared his ball into middle. Everton’s biggest attacking threat, which wasn’t saying much. EPA
Dominic Calvert-Lewin 5: Striker, making first start of season, shown very early yellow card for needless foul on Guimaraes. Headed Gray corner over bar after 25 minutes but little other threat. Getty
SUBS: Neale Maupay (On for Calvert-Lewin 73’) 5: No impact. Getty
