Newcastle Stun Everton With Late Equaliser

By Daily Sports on January 22, 2020

Italian striker Moise Kean finally scored his first goal in an Everton shirt but his joy was overshadowed as Newcastle United substitute Florian Lejeune struck twice in stoppage time to grab an unlikely 2-2 draw on Tuesday.

Kean's well-taken opener after 30 minutes opened his Everton account on his 22nd appearance and when Dominic Calvert-Lewin doubled the lead with his 10th league goal of the season, the hosts were heading into the top eight of the Premier League.

Injury-ravaged Newcastle had barely had a sniff of a chance and when Lejeune's acrobatic finish beat Jordan Pickford in the 94th minute it looked like nothing more than a consolation.

A minute later, and with panic breaking out in the Everton ranks, Frenchman Lejeune was on hand again to fire home past Pickford after a goalmouth scramble.

It was the second game running that Newcastle had struck at the death, having toppled Chelsea in stoppage time on Saturday.

Both sides remain locked together on 30 points, seven points above the relegation zone. (ESPN)
