Everton 1-0 Newcastle report as Magpies fall to heartbreaking stoppage time defeat in chaotic clash

Newcastle United were sunk by a 99th minute goal from Alex Iwobi on an utterly bizarre night at Goodison Park. Not helped by the actions of a 21-year-old supporter who entered the field in the second half and tied himself to a goalpost, the Magpies were undone in the added time caused by the long delay against battling Everton.

The incident almost certainly broke the concentration of some players with Newcastle on top in the first half and starting the second in the same manner.

After the fan was eventually freed, Newcastle did regain their composure and saw the Toffees reduced to 10 men when Allan was sent off for a poor challenge on Allan Saint-Maximin. But they were unable to snatch a goal and the intense encounter was decided by Iwobi's late, late strike.
