Newcastle sent warning after taunt, Everton's odd transfer dig and owner's reaction - 5 things

Newcastle United have suffered back-to-back defeats for the first time since December after the Magpies were beaten 1-0 by 10-man Everton at Goodison Park.

Everton lost Allan to a red card in the 83rd minute after the midfielder was sent off for a meaty challenge on Allan Saint-Maximin after referee Craig Pawson consulted his pitchside monitor. However, despite being a man down, Alex Iwobi popped up with a late winner in the ninth minute of stoppage time.

Frank Lampard called Allan Saint-Maximin 'unplayable' following the reverse fixture back in February and the substitute quickly made an impact after drawing a heavy challenge from Allan in the 83rd minute. Allan was ultimately sent off for serious foul play after referee Craig Pawson consulted his pitchside monitor, leaving Everton fans incensed as they chanted 'You're not fit to referee!'

It felt like a big moment not only in the game but, also, these sides' season. Everton had been on top up until that point in the second half and Anthony Gordon had forced Martin Dubravka into a fine save just a few minutes previously with an effort from just outside the area.

The officials worked against Newcastle at Stamford Bridge, when Trevoh Chalobah's shirt pull on Jacob Murphy was not even checked last week, but, this time, VAR appeared to come to Newcastle's rescue. Yet, remarkably, Everton still looked the likelier of scorers when 14 minutes were added on after a protestor tied himself to a goal post earlier in the half.

Alex Iwobi duly popped up with the winner in the ninth minute of stoppage time after Newcastle's defence was cut open by some smart link-up play between the winger and substitute Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
