Premier League Goals

The Toffees cruised into a two-goal lead at Goodison Park thanks to Mikel Arteta’s penalty and £15m midfielder Marouane Fellaini’s first for the club.

But Steven Taylor pulled one back a minute from the break with a far-post header and then made the equaliser for Damien Duff a minute into the second period.

Newcastle were under pressure from the start against an Everton side still smarting from their UEFA Cup exit in midweek.

Louis Saha fired wide, Ayegbeni Yakubu lifted a shot over the bar and Arteta saw a free-kick curl over.

Everton should have been ahead after seven minutes when Yakubu turned Claudio Cacapa far too easily as a ball came in from the left, but the Nigerian stabbed a 12-yard effort just wide.

Newcastle responded when Charles N’Zogbia appeared in yards of space on the left to fire a cross-shot just wide of the far post.

But Everton were ahead after 17 minutes. Nicky Butt was penalised for a sliding tackle on Baines in the box after the full-back looked to have lost the ball.

English Premier League Tottenham Hotspur vs. Hull City 0-1

A brilliant first-half free-kick from Geovanni maintained Hull City’s flying start to the season.

The Brazilian struck after just nine minutes to grab the only goal of the match and lift the Tigers to third place in the Barclays Premier League.

It increased the misery for Tottenham Hotspur who remain rooted to the foot of the table.

Spurs might have gone behind after just three minutes when a mistake by central defender Jonathan Woodgate left Geovanni in space eight yards from goal with just goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes to beat but the Brazilian blasted the ball over the bar.

Five minutes later, however, Geovanni showed just why he has been an integral part of Hull’s wonderful start.

English Premier League Portsmouth vs. Stoke City 2-1

Peter Crouch and Jermain Defoe were on target as Portsmouth saw off battling Stoke City in their Barclays Premier League match at Fratton Park.

Crouch followed up his crucial UEFA Cup goals against Guimaraes with a spectacular opener but it was left to Defoe to net the winner after former Pompey striker Ricardo Fuller equalised.

Crouch and Defoe now have 11 goals between them this season since Pompey set up their £18.5m partnership.

And the 6ft 7ins former Liverpool forward, who notched two in midweek to rescue Portsmouth’s UEFA Cup hopes in Portugal, took them into double figures with a stunning overhead kick from Defoe’s pass in the 25th minute.

Yet in Pompey’s seventh game in 22 days - manager Harry Redknapp made just two changes from the side that knocked out Guimaraes - they were forced into a fierce battle by Stoke.

But after Fuller bundled home an equaliser three minutes into the second half, Defoe cracked the winner three minutes later, having already hit a post.

All Pompey’s early dominance pointed to a comfortable win as winger Armand Traore terrorised Stoke’s right flank with a series of raids that produced near misses by Papa Bouba Diop and Defoe.

Yet the home side suddenly began to struggle against Rory Delap’s long throws and Fuller’s committed approach.
