Florian Lejeune scored a stoppage time double for Newcastle as they came from 2-0 down to snatch a point from Everton at Goodison Park last night.

Everton were 2-0 up with three of the four added on minutes played last night before the game erupted into chaos right at the death.

Lejeune halved the deficit with an overhead kick which looked like being nothing more than a consolation before adding an equaliser with the last kick of the game.

He only came off the bench as a substitute on 70 minutes, replacing Ciaran Clark as Steve Bruce made a defensive change at a time when many fans would have wanted a more attacking switch.

But bringing on Lejeune proved to be the substitution which earned the point and plenty of Newcastle fans on Twitter were absolutely buzzing.

After a stoppage time winner against Chelsea at the weekend, Bruce’s men provided more late drama yesterday and the supporters loved it.

They referenced Bruce’s role in the chaos by bringing on Lejeune – with Newcastle’s defenders becoming ever more prolific than their strikers – and revelled in the drama.
