Newcastle v Everton Forest v Fulham and more clockwatch live

Join John Brewin for updates from Tuesday evening’s games in the Premier League and beyond

Newcastle 1-0 Everton

To nobody’s surprise, Dan Burn looks far more comfortable at centre-half than left-back but then there’s a clash between Paul Dummett and Ashley Young. There’s a VAR call for ref Tony Harrington to be called over. Dummett fell to the floor and took Young with him.

Bournemouth 0-0 Crystal Palace

In the battle of pressing exponents, Glasner versus Iraola, there’s been a cancelling out. Think of it as an intermediate level Guardiola v Arteta. Styles make fights, and all that.

Justin Kavanagh gets in touch: “Around this time of year, I always try to make extra time for listening to my Everton-afflicted pal here in Philadelphia. Others should too… let’s remember that these people probably didn’t choose to be Evertonians; research shows that it’s largely an inherited dis… disposition.”

Newcastle 1-0 Everton

Lewis Hall again looks in poor nick, and he departs this time to be replaced by Paul Dummet, making only his second appearance since 2022. Welcome back, Paul.

Forest 3-1 Fulham

Gio Reyna is immiment, having looked decent for Forest at the weekend, and he will replaces Gibbs-White, who looks tired. Still, those are huge shoes to fill and Gibbs-White leaves to huge applause.

Newcastle 1-0 Everton

Ashley Young forces a save from Dubravka as Everton put pressure on, and at the other end Bruno Guimaraes shoots and Pickford saves. It’s all happening, and Newcastle force a corner that Everton hack behind. They clear this time.

Forest 3-1 Fulham

Another hitting of the bar, with Kenny Tete ratting it and his colleagues unable to knock it in.

Newcastle 1-0 Everton

Elliot Anderson, the youngster, goes off, and Joe Willock comes on as Newcastle seek that second goal.

Forest 3-1 Fulham

Now Neco Williams hits the woodwork/metal post, with a deflected shot. Hudson-Odoi is down injured and will be replaced by Divock Origi, the scorer. Origi is a better defensive forward.

Newcastle 1-0 Everton

Chances at both ends, with Garner hitting the post and then Newcastle attack in waves, with goalmouth scramble following an Isak effort.

Forest 3-1 Fulham

The insanity continues at the City Ground, with Fulham very much improved but opening up all sorts of space at the opposite end. Hell of a game.

Newcastle 1-0 Everton

Sean Dyche has seen enough with three changes, Onana, Doucoure and Beto off. Garner, Gomes and Calvert-Lewin on.

Isak the supplier, as he slots the ball across and Dan Burn, under such criticism this season, who slots in. That was too easy. Was he offside, Isak? There’s a delay, a long delay. The lines were out.

Forest 1-3 Fulham

There’s a chase from end to end after Hudson-Odoi goes down in the Fulham box and the visitors go all the way down the other end before Forest hurriedly clear their lines. And now Forest want a penalty as Robinson comes across Neco Williams. Ref Michael Oliver waves that away. and VAR does too.

Newcastle 1-0 Everton

It happened a while ago now but James Tarkowksi’s gone closest to scoring – though for Newcastle with a deflection.

The big defender nods in, with Gibbs-White the unlikely and unsuitable marker as he nods in. A rousing comeback? Stranger things have happened.

There’s been another goal at the London Stadium.

West Ham v Tottenham: Premier League – live

With the live table showing Forest level on 25 points with Everton.

Wolves strike back, and it’s their rather useful full-back on the mark, with Pablo Sarabia supplying the assist.

A goal from one of the very best players in the Premier League this season, Eberechi Eze, but here’s the offside flag to break that butterfly on a wheel.

Matt Burtz gets in touch: “As an Everton fan/apologist, I admit that them playing better than they did against Bournemouth is a low bar. I must point out, however, that the xG table has them above both Manchester United and West Ham, and their xG against is fifth best in the league. Scoring goals is the problem, as we know, but they have beaten Newcastle already this season.”

Newcastle have been the better team, Everton anaemic once more after a good start to the game. Alexander Isak is a striker in form to whom Everton have no answer.

Dara O’Shea, the Irish speedster, set that up with a long pass for a fine finish. Are Burnley beginning to believe?

What a performance in the first 45 from Forest, with Morgan Gibbs-White ruling the roost but both Chris Wood and Callum Hudson-Odoi scoring fine goals, too.

That didn’t take long, with Timo Werner laying on the assist for a close-range finish.

The star man gets a deserved goal, playing the ball in a one-two before bursting on, and taking his time to convert. What a fine goal, Danilo playing his part.
