Everton were given a boost in their battle to avoid relegation this evening after Newcastle United's away win over Nottingham Forest.
Eddie Howe's side fell behind in the first half after a deft finish from Emmanuel Dennis, though issued a response on the stroke of half-time with an equally intelligent goal from summer signing Alexander Isak.
Newcastle thought they had taken the lead with 25 minutes to play when academy graduate Elliot Anderson found the back of the net, only for VAR to intervene and deny the 20-year-old a first senior goal for the club.
