Everton ground out a 1-1 draw at Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur ended a run of six Premier League defeats with a morale-boosting 2-0 victory over 10-man Middlesbrough on Sunday.

Newcastle made an ideal start when Wales striker Craig Bellamy worked a neat one-two with Dutch partner Patrick Kluivert and sped through to score after only five minutes.

Further chances went begging for Newcastle before Everton midfielder Lee Carsley curled a spectacular free kick over their wall in the 56th minute, while Bellamy had a close-range shot blocked in the closing minutes at St James' Park.

Everton stay third on 30 points, one behind champions Arsenal, who were playing Liverpool later. Chelsea, who thrashed Charlton Athletic 4-0 on Saturday, are top on 36 points.

Spurs were helped to their much-needed victory at White Hart Lane by a red card five minutes before the break for Boro's French defender Franck Queudrue.

They capitalised four minutes after the re-start when England striker Jermain Defoe fired home and Mali international Frederic Kanoute sealed the victory in the 76th minute.
