Everton consistently frustrated Newcastle to secure a point at Goodison Park on Sunday.
The hosts thought they had taken the lead when Abdoulaye Doucoure rose high to head past Nick Pope but a subsequent VAR review saw the would-be opener ruled out.
A moment of madness from James Tarkowski on Sandro Tonali offered the visitors a golden opportunity to take the lead from the penalty spot but Jordan Pickford dived well to deny Anthony Gordon.
Both sides had opportunities to take the lead in the second half but ultimately suffered from a lack of quality in the final third and the game ended goalless.
