Legend breaks hand in wild Toffees celebrations but says he'll 'take one every game'

“The whole evening was a big night for us. This game is special and it hasn’t felt so special for us in the last few weeks.” I think I just connected with something somehow and I realised two minutes later my hand was shaking and going a bit achy – but I’ll take it for the three points,” said the Toffees boss. The flow of a scrappy game was further interrupted by it taking seven minutes to free the protester against fossil fuels from the post. The Blues have precious little to show for that investment as a succession of managers have struggled to match Moshiri’s expectations. Just a second win in 12 league games was also met with jubilant celebrations at full-time with the financial implications of relegation dire for Everton.

Frank Lampard shows class with Newcastle crowd as Everton boss ... (ChronicleLive)

Everton boss Frank Lampard was keen to highlight the role Newcastle United supporters played in the reverse fixture at St James' Park following his side's ...

They want to see what they feel and there's been a lot of negativity around the players, the fans and all this stuff this week. There were some tactical things that were hard for us to deal with and, at half-time, I just wanted to be so positive with the team and use the atmosphere and use the side of the game that this club needs to have. It was a night where even Kieran Trippier admitted the atmosphere was something he 'never experienced in his career' while Ryan Fraser hailed the fans for 'getting us through that' under the lights.

Police Remove Protester Who Tied Neck To Everton Goal... After Another Pitch Invader Punches Him (unknown)

Police, stewards and wire cutters were needed to remove a pitch invader who tied his neck to a goalpost during a protest at Everton vs Newcastle.

The Toffees had been reduced to 10 men in the 83rd minute when Allan was shown a straight red card for a foul Allan Saint-Maximin. The lengthy delay caused by the protesting pitch invader meant that there was 14 minutes of added time signaled at the end of the game. He ran onto the field and headed straight for the goal that was being guarded by Everton keeper Asmir Begovic.

Protester ties himself to goalpost during Everton-Newcastle United ... (ABC News)

"It means war on small island states. He was also briefly attacked by another fan, who ran on to the pitch as security was attempting to drag the protester away. It took a number of stewards and security staff to remove the intruder after he was cut free from the post, and had to be carried out of the stadium as he refused to leave on his own.

Iwobi nets late winner for Everton in EPL (7NEWS.com.au)

Everton have taken a major step in their relegation battle with the 10-man Toffees defeating Newcastle 1-0 at a bouncing Goodison Park.

The second half was barely five minutes old when the game was stopped after a protester wearing a 'Just Stop Oil' T-shirt cable-tied himself to the goalpost at the Gwladys Street End and was only removed after half a dozen people and bolt croppers were deployed. However, in the 14 additional minutes played due to the incursion of a protester who tied himself to a goalpost and the VAR check for the Brazilian's dismissal, there was a brief opening and Iwobi took it clinically for only his second league goal of the season. It was only Everton's third top-flight win since September, but the three-point gap they opened up over 18th-placed Watford, over whom they have two matches in hand, was just the breathing space they needed as the pressure started to become intolerable.

Everton, Newcastle and no guarantees of success (The Guardian)

Back in early October the sun was shining at Goodison Park. Everton had won four and drawn two of their first seven league matches of the season and the ...

“Thanks for ruining my evening,” sniffed Tommy T after the 2-1 win at Lille. “I was in such a good mood.” After Liverpool’s 2-0 win at Arsenal pulled them within a point of the Premier League summit, Jürgen Klopp is bringing out the real talk. “As an American Chelsea supporter, transferring ownership of the club from Roman Abramovich to the Ricketts family ( yesterday’s News, Bits and Bobs) would, at best, be a lateral move morally. We might not yet be free of the League Two gravitational pull, but at least we are no longer hurtling dangerously downward. Thursday’s showdown at Goodison Park means a heck of a lot more to the hosts than it does to freewheelin’ Newcastle. Everton have enough matches left to get themselves out of trouble but do they have the quality, cohesion and bottle? The time when Newcastle conquered all and therefore deserve nothing less than the return of their glory days? “For those of us old enough to remember when football was just about the result and how teams played, it seems increasingly bewildering that Manchester United and PSG losing to Atlético or Real Madrid demands a root-and-branch inquiry and/or a three-hour phone-in, etc and so on. Paul Doyle will also be on deck for Everton 1-2 Newcastle in the Premier League at 7.45pm. But of course, that tells only half the story because Everton are the living, floundering proof that having lots of money is no guarantee of success. But how things change: Everton are on the sort of run that could get horses shot, two wins in 19 league matches leaving them at risk of being relegated for the first time since Britain first heard of the Goon Show. Meanwhile, Newcastle are flying high and the only place they need to think about going down to now is the pub. Back in early October the sun was shining at Goodison Park. Everton had won four and drawn two of their first seven league matches of the season and the locals were starting to clasp Rafa Benítez to their true-blue bosoms.
