Frank Lampard’s Everton are currently locked in Premier League action at St James’ Park.
Newcastle headed into the game knowing that a win would see them, temporarily at least, climb out of the bottom three.
Everton, meanwhile, are very much in danger of slipping into the relegation battle after winning just one of their last 14 league games before Tuesday.
And, at the time of writing, the Toffees are on course to make it just one win from 15.
Newcastle lead by two goals to one after a Mason Holgate own goal and a Ryan Fraser striker cancelled out Jamaal Lascelles’ own goal for the Everton opener.
Everton’s Michael Keane targeted during Newcastle clash
It is Newcastle’s second goal of the day, though, which has led to one Everton star being heavily criticised online.
That player is Michael Keane, who essentially flicked the ball on to allow Fraser to score.
That could be MASSIVE for Newcastle! ⚽️

Now, as shown by the reaction below, Keane has been heavily criticised online for both his involvement in the goal and his general display on the night:

Michael Keane worst player there is existing on this planet. And if theres life on any other planets, he’s worse than them too.

An injured Mina is better than Michael Keane

Michael Keane and holgate need their contracts terminating abysmal defending and passing

Michael Keane really is pointless without Mina. He just looks clueless.
