On Sunday in Newcastle, there were two matches of the 6th round. The opponents were Newcastle and Everton clubs. The hosts started the game more actively, and already in the 3rd minute, Charles N'Zogbia hit the crossbar.
A few moments later, the same C.N'Zogbia hit just next to the crossbar. In the 14th minute, the first goal was scored - Emre delivered a perfect pass to Shola Ameobi, who remained completely free from 7 meters and shot past Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard. However, the striker had to leave the field a few minutes later due to a recurring injury.
After the missed goal, Joleon Lescott could have equalized the score, but his shot missed the net. A few minutes later, the captain of the Shark team, Scott Parker, forced T. Howard to work, who rejected the powerful shot of his opponent with his fingertips.
In the 40th minute, the equalizing goal was scored. Phillip Neville received the ball in the middle of the field, passed it to the right side where Mikel Arteta was, and he made a perfect pass to Tim Cahill, who only had to head the ball into the net guarded by Steve Harper. This was the third goal of the season in the English Premier League for the Australian national team defender.
In the second half, young James Milner from Newcastle had a great chance to score, but T. Howard managed to cope with his shot somehow. In the 70th minute, Obafemi Martins missed a chance to overtake the Everton defender, who did not shine in this match and made many mistakes, so he was replaced with the striker Giuseppe Rossi borrowed from Man Utd in the last 10 minutes of the match.
At the end of the match, there were several threatening shots from the young Italian striker, but one of them missed the goal completely, while the other was saved by Everton goalkeeper T. Howard. Both teams finished the match with ten men as Titus Bramble and Tony Hibbert were sent off the field one after the other.
The match ended in a 1-1 draw, meaning that Everton lost two points for the second time in a row, while Newcastle moved up one step with this draw.
