Jordan Pickford saved a first-half penalty to help Everton secure a point against Newcastle United at Goodison Park. The England goalkeeper diverted Sandro Tonali's 35th-minute strike away from goal after the visitors received a spot-kick for a foul by James Tarkowski. According to the Premier League, the save prevented Newcastle from taking the lead in a match that eventually ended goalless.
Match data from Sky Sports indicates Pickford has now saved five of the 15 penalties he has faced in the Premier League for Everton. The draw leaves Sean Dyche's side in 16th place in the table, while Newcastle United remain in seventh position.
Eddie Howe's side dominated possession with 67 percent of the ball but failed to beat the Everton defence, per The Guardian. Anthony Gordon also missed an opportunity to score against his former club late in the game. The result marks Everton's second consecutive clean sheet at home during the 2024-25 campaign.
