It looks like the answer appears to be 'no'. Everton have a last real chance to sling it into the box but Yakubu's cross is far too long for Vaughan.

Can someone find a winner in the three minutes of added on time?

Everton are back in the driving seat as we enter the very closing stages and they almost snatch it! Yakubu rises to meet Arteta's free-kick and Given denies him with his fingertips before dropping on the loose ball.

Superb effort from Anichebe but not this time for him! The Nigerian striker tries to curl a shot inside the far post and it bounces right next to the base of the post - but the wrong side for the Toffees.

Everton want a penalty but they are not getting one! Yakubu mishits a shot across goal and Anichebe goes over under challenge from Taylor but referee Webb is not interested.

The visitors are really grabbing this game by the scruff of the neck now and are beginning to look threatening again.

Sensational block from Baines! Poor defending initially from Everton as Ameobi collects the ball and waltzes into the six-yard box where he sees N'Zogbia in a better position but when the shot does come in Baines is sliding in to save his side.

Nearly a chance for Owen! N'Zogbia's deep corner is met by Coloccini at the far post who heads it back across goal but just behind England striker Owen who can't spin on it.

The home side have upped the tempo in the last few minutes and Newcastle are having to work hard to contain them.

Almost for Everton! Mikel Arteta clips a clever reverse ball into Osman who unleashes a rasping snap shot that Given does superbly to turn wide.

The levels of frustration around the stands at Goodison is increasing quite rapidly with every misplaced pass or missed tackle.

In the first half it was Everton that were pressing the man in possession but in the second period it is Newcastle giving the hosts no time to pick a pass as they are very quick into the tackle.

This game has opened up spectacularly and right now it is impossible to either pick a winner or imagine that there is not another goal or two in it.

Almost 3-2 to Newcastle! Duff whips a corner into the near post and Saha slices it into the side of his own net and he is much relieved to see the ball not actually nestling in the net.

Suddenly the roles have been reversed and Newcastle now look the most likely to score as Butt finds Duff again but this time Lescott is in the way.

Joe Kinnear has not seen either of Newcastle's goals due to the restrictions of his touchline ban he was in the dressing room for each strike - not that he cares too much about that now.

There will be two minutes of added time at the end of the half.

A brief stoppage in the play as Nicky Butt is down receiving treatment after taking a blow to his lower back.

Everton think Newcastle are here for the taking by the looks of things and they seem to be heading all out to clinch victory before the break as the hosts apply non-stop pressure.

The game has drifted into a bit of a lull in the last few minutes with Everton happy to sit on the lead for now and look to attack when they see a real chance to exploit gaps, while Newcastle can't provide the right service for Owen.

Nearly an own goal to sum up life at Newcastle! Saha fails to control the ball properly in the box then, under no pressure, Coloccini smashes the ball at Steven Taylor and it flashes just inches wide.

Since going in front Everton have rather taken their foot off the gas and are allowing Newcastle to take a foothold in a game they really have not looked like dominating until now.

Last-ditch from the Toffees! Somehow Newcastle fail to score as Duff, Owen, Guthrie and then Taylor all have shots saved by Howard or blocked on the line by blue shirts in an almight penalty box scramble.

Newcastle made no real complaint over the penalty decision, although replays suggest Baines may have strayed offside in the build-up.

Penalty to Everton! Leighton Baines nips into the box and Nicky Butt, already committed to the challenge, brings him down and its a stonewall penalty.

Steven Pienaar is showing why Everton have missed him so much so far this season with his tricky running and neat passing skills troubling Steven Taylor constantly.

How quickly things can turn. Geremi hits a speculative ball into the box that Jagielka swings and misses at and N'Zogbia hits first time just wide of the far post.

In complete contrast to the Merseyside derby last week Everton are lively, bright and pressuring the player in possession - Newcastle can't get a proper move going.

Everton mean business! Fellaini uses his height to flick the ball away from Coloccini and into the path of Yakubu but the Nigerian can't bring it under his spell and his shot on the stretch dribbles wide.

Another possible opening for Everton as Pienaar, Saha and Osman pressure Geremi into a mistake and Pienaar feeds Yakubu whose snap shot is a fraction too high;

A bright start from the home side and Louis Saha is given a half-chance by Yakubu but the Frenchman's control is not the best and Guthrie nips in to steal the ball.
