'Desperately controversial' - National media make VAR point and react to Everton win over Newcastle

Everton may have left it late but Alex Iwobi's strike in added time earned his side a much-needed three points against an in-form Newcastle United at Goodison Park on Thursday night.

Having been reduced to 10-men when midfielder Allan was sent off after a lengthy VAR check changed a yellow card to a straight red, Frank Lampard's side never gave up and kept pushing to send the supporters inside the stadium delighted.

The victory opened up a three-point gap between Everton and 18th-placed Watford.
