Everton fell to only a second Premier League defeat since November as Callum Wilson's double earned Newcastle United a 2-0 win at Goodison Park on Saturday.
James Rodriguez and Dominic Calvert-Lewin had gone closest to making a breakthrough for the Blues but both were denied by excellent stops from Magpies goalkeeper Karl Darlow.
Wilson's fine header on 73 minutes opened the scoring, however, and the striker struck his second in stoppage time as Everton committed men forward in search of a leveller.
The result checks Everton’s momentum as Carlo Ancelotti’s side aim to secure European qualification but the Blues remain within striking distance of the Premier League top four.
