Emre returns with a bang to lift Newcastle

EMRE was barely noticed when he crept on as a substitute towards the end of this Curate’s Egg of a match.

Newcastle’s fans were more concerned with Michael Owen’s appearance at the same time yet, while Owen did score a goal in injury time to confirm he is ready for England duty, Emre emerged as the man responsible for Newcastle’s hard-earned victory.

The Turkish international scored a fine goal as Everton appeared destined for a point and created Owen’s goal in stoppage time against the team who accused him of racist comments last season before he was cleared by an FA tribunal.
