Lejeune's Injury Time Double Rescues Draw for Newcastle at Everton

LIVERPOOL, England (AP) – Florian Lejeune scored two injury-time goals to rescue an unlikely point for Newcastle in a 2-2 draw at Everton in the Premier League on Tuesday.

The second-half substitute took advantage of poor defending by Everton to flick home an overhead kick in the fourth minute of stoppage time and then scramble in an equalizer a minute later at Goodison Park.

Everton looked to be cruising to victory after goals by strikers Moise Kean - his first for the club since his offseason move from Juventus - and Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

Newcastle had only had one shot on target before Lejeune's late intervention.
