Crash, bang, wallop, what a game. St. James’ Park roared like it was all our yesterdays as Newcastle United fought back from 2-0 down to a sharp Everton to equalise through Ayoze Pérez with nine minutes left and then surged to victory three minutes later via the same player. You could hardly hear yourself think, though you could definitely hear what the Gallowgate End made of it.
The crowd had been involved from the 29th minute when Jordan Pickford felled Salomón Rondón in the six-yard area when Rondón seemed about to score. Lee Mason gave a penalty – correctly – but did not even give Pickford a yellow card when a red might have been appropriate. The position of Kurt Zouma clouded the issue.
