The calm boss, but referee anger after Toffees go to Hebburn...

SUNDERLAND needed to come from behind against Everton to earn yet another Premier League point.

Jordan Pickford made his return to Wearside

Their captain, Granit Xhaka, was instrumental in turning the tide, scoring the all-important equaliser after Iliman Ndiaye had given the Toffees a deserved lead.

It wasn't the best display we've seen from the Black Cats this season, but a draw was a fair result.

The result moves Sunderland to fourth, level on points with Liverpool and just a point behind Pep Guardiola's Man City. Who would have thought we'd be saying that after ten games?

Here are the moments you might have missed from Sunderland's win over Everton.

However, it also made the game a sloppy occasion, for the opening half hour at least. Sunderland looked to move Trai Hume into midfield, as they did at Chelsea, but that left Nordi Mukiele open on the counterattack with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Jack Grealish lively in the opening stages.

When Le Bris' side did settle, the back line looked more comfortable in possession, but could find neither Hume nor Reinildo on the opposite flank when they moved into central areas.

When they did, the duo were met by an Everton back five, with a bank of four midfielders in front of them.

Enzo Le Fee looked as though he'd be the one to unlock a stubborn defence.
