Zeroes on the Scoreboard: Everton and Newcastle United Play Out a Tightly Contested Goalless Draw

In the fixture at Goodison Park, the clash unfolded as a goalless affair, with both Everton and Newcastle United failing to find the back of the net. The showdown concluded in a 0-0 draw, as neither side could break the deadlock.

Newcastle United are now in sixth place, while Everton are in 16th place.

‘I just fancied him to go keepers left. It hit off my knee and straight off my beak. I don’t think I executed it to perfection,’ Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford told Sky Sports after denying Newcastle from the penalty spot.

‘It’s like trying to double-bluff each other. I got the better of him tonight,’ he added.

“I thought we played well today without the final most important bit. They are a difficult team to contain. We were good with the ball until the final action,’ Newcastle boss Eddie Howe said.

Everton play Ipswich Town on 19 October, Fulham on 26 October and Southampton (away) on 2 November. Newcastle United’s next opponents are Brighton & Hove Albion on 19 October, Chelsea on 27 October and Arsenal (home) on 2 November.
