Newcastle United striker Demba Ba struck in the last minute to
salvage a 2-2 draw with Everton in a pulsating Premier League match at
Goodison Park on Monday.
Everton looked to have sealed all three points when Victor Anichebe
turned neatly to crack a low shot past Tim Howard with two minutes left
but Ba's clever finish earned a point for his team.
Everton dominated the first half and led thanks to a fine goal by
England left back Leighton Baines before Newcastle equalised just after
the interval through halftime substitute Ba.
Everton climbed to seventh in the standings on seven points from four games with Newcastle two points back in 11th.
"I never set up my team to get a draw and in the second half we showed
what we are all about," Newcastle manager Alan Pardew told Sky Sports.
"I was proud of the second half because we were terrific, but the first
half we lacked belief and I was shocked at how we played.
"Fortunately we've got good players and not many teams would come back
and respond in the way we did so all credit to the players for that. At
halftime I put some belief in the team, sometimes that's all you need."
