They needed every minute but Everton secured an enormous late win over Newcastle United to boost their hopes of Premier League survival.
With 14 minutes of added time due to a red-card for Everton midfielder Allan, Alex Iwobi fired in the 99th minute to send Goodison Park into raptures.
Frank Lampard now has two Premier League wins as Everton manager, taking the club three points above 18th-placed Watford with two games in hand.
The match didn't particularly excite or standout - despite a protester tying himself to a goalpost by his neck - but the latter stages set up a thrilling finish.
Anthony Gordon almost put Everton ahead but his curled finish was tipped away superbly by Martin Dubravka.
The home optimism quickly turned however when Allan was shown a red-card for taking out Newcastle substitute Allan Saint-Maximin.
But the tension that grew inside Goodison Park soon turned to elation as Iwobi and Calvert-Lewin produced a magical one-two before the Nigeria international fired low past Dubravka.
Everton face Crystal Palace in the FA Cup quarter-finals on Saturday and their next league game is an away trip to West Ham on April 3, while Newcastle can take a rest before facing Tottenham Hotspur on April 3.
