Paul Clement the peacemaker as incensed Everton take complaints to Newcastle tunnel

Miguel Almiron's match winner came on a rising tide of emotion as Newcastle United built pressure and Everton felt hard done by through a number of refereeing decisions.

The temperature was rising at St James' Park as the Blues lost out on a host of close calls, challenges on Amadou Onana and Anthony Gordon among those raising questions as to why they had gone unnoticed. When the goal came, Onana and his teammates felt he had been fouled again and then, minutes later, the situation flared once more when Gordon went down in the box under a challenge from Dan Burn.

The remonstrations continued throughout the first half and came off the back of a trip to Tottenham Hotspur in which Everton's defeat partially hinged on a soft penalty against them. After another frustrating 90 minutes away from Goodison Park, here are a few moments that may have been overlooked - or missed - in the aftermath of the match, from Neal Maupay's kit confusion, and Frank Lampard's thoughts on it, to the concern at the decisions against Everton which continued well after the half time whistle.
