Alex Iwobi struck in the ninth minute of stoppage time as 10-man Everton ended a four-game losing streak with a dramatic 1-0 victory over Newcastle.

The Toofees had Allan sent off in the 83rd minute after an initial booking for a foul on Allan Saint-Maximin was upgraded to a red card by referee Craig Pawson following a VAR review.

But after holding on to Newcastle pressure, the hosts stole possession in midfield, which sees Iwobi carry the ball forward, while exchanging passes with Dominic Calvert-Lewin, and slide home a cool finish to seal an improbable victory.

There were still five further minutes of stoppage time to play after that due to a bizarre delay early in the second half,where protester had to interrupt the game before he was freed by stewards,after using bolt-cutters after attaching himself to the goal using a cable tie around his neck.

The win sees Frank Lampard’s side get a win after loosing 4 matches in a row,while Newcastle suffered another 1-0 defeat following their loose to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
