Newcastle United and Everton are playing out a 1-1 draw in this afternoon's Premier League clash at St James' Park.
The visitors took the lead within the first five minutes as Seamus Coleman powered down the flank and lashed a cross into the box towards Arouna Kone, who had the simple task of poking the ball into the back of the net from close range.
Moments later, Samuel Eto'o decided to attempt an ambitious shot from distance, but this sailed wide of Jak Alnwick's post.
In the 12th minute, the hosts came close to fashioning a dangerous chance when Papiss Cisse flicked the ball towards Moussa Sissoko, but the latter's first touch was too heavy and his side had to settle for a corner, which came to nothing.
Newcastle kept threatening and were rewarded in the 34th minute when Cisse converted from close range following a smart pull-back from Mike Williamson to claim his ninth goal of the season.
