Sean Dyche heaps praise on his Everton side for their 'edge' in draw with Newcastle as the Toffees boss questions 'bizarre' VAR check before their late penalty was awarded

Sean Dyche hailed Everton's second-half 'edge' as they came from behind to rescue a valuable point in a 1-1 draw at Newcastle.

The Magpies went ahead through Alexander Isak's first-half strike, but spurned a number of opportunities before Everton struck back in the latter stages.

Paul Dummett's challenge on Ashley Young saw the Toffees awarded a penalty in the 87th minute and after a VAR check, substitute Dominic Calvert-Lewin stepped up to slot home from the spot.

A draw still hands Everton an unwanted record of 13 Premier League games without a win, but Dyche believes his side secured a 'good point' on the road.
