Newcastle United entered their Boxing Day clash with an out-of-form Everton at St James' Park needing a point to move out of the bottom three in the Premier League table.
Both teams had chances in an open first period, but the score remained level at the mid-point of the match.
It was a similar story in the second 45 minutes, with both passing up opportunities to make the breakthrough in front of a packed support on Tyneside.
Everton stole the points in the third minute of stoppage time, however, when Tom Cleverley headed home from a half-cleared corner.
