So if that result doesn't give hope to Sunderland fans, I don't know what will. That's a third win in the last five Premier League games. Can Newcastle catch you?

How about this then Sunderland fans? You are out of the relegation zone - in fact you are out of the bottom six. So good we can't even fit you in our graphic!

The Black Cats move to 14th, ahead of this afternoon's fixtures, two points clear of the drop zone.

Peter Collins: I've said for a while that Sunderland might mark relegation. Finish below them, you're gone. Finish above, you're safe.

Richie Macca: Delighted I stuck my money on Newcastle to go down. Bang out of form at the wrong time, and no sign of recovery. Oh dear.

Daniel Woodley: What a HUGE win for @SunderlandAFC! Not many gave them a prayer, including me, but well played! Relegation battle hots up!

Dick Advocaat has heaped the pressure on the other teams around him at the bottom of the table. The Sunderland boss has never been relegated and his side have taken a huge step to helping him maintain that record.

That's it. What a result for Sunderland, that takes them out of the bottom three and above Newcastle, among others, to 14th in Premier League table.

Mr Waddle is right. Sunderland defenders Wes Brown, Sebastian Coates, and goalkeeper Costel Pantilimon have been superb.

"You've got to say Everton have dominated game but it's just the final decision, should I pass, should I shoot?

"Sunderland have done well when they have lost the ball. When they have had to put their bodies on the line around the penalty area they have."

Dick Advocaat still instructing his Sunderland players but his work here is done. Everton fans leaving Goodison at a steady rate.

Four minutes of added time.

Sunderland haven't won away in 2015 before today but who cares about history? It's there to be re-written.

"It's an unbelievable result. Sunderland haven't really played good football but they've dug in and they've got two deflections and looks like they're going to win the game. It will be Dick Top Cat soon."

"Are you watching Newcastle?" scream the Sunderland fans. Indeed.

Adam Johnson has made a difference since coming on. His ball-carrying ability is priceless in this situation and he draws a foul from Luke Garbutt. Yellow card.

Can you believe this? Another goal and another deflection. Steven Fletcher drives into the box and slips. Adam Johnson picks it up and shoots and his effort hits Seamus Coleman before cannoning in-off Jermain Defoe. World-class billiards!

Double change for Sunderland. Steven Fletcher is coming on for Connor Wickham. Liam Bridcutt replaces Sebastian Larsson.

Everton's Romelu Lukaku crosses from the left but Seamus Coleman can't connect with it. The Irishman appeals that Jermain Defoe clipped him but there didn't look too much in it although there was contact.

Mistake in the Sunderland midfield as Wes Brown gives the ball away, Aaron Lennon is onto the ball but Jordi Gomez makes a wonderful recovering tackle.

You look at the shape of the Sunderland team now and they are all well-drilled. Compact in defence with plenty of cover ahead of them. Everton's Romelu Lukaku scoops over from close range but he is offside.

"Sunderland' til I die," is the shout from the Black Cats supporters. Nervous 12 minutes for them now.

James in Warwick: Sunderland have 2 penalties in the last game and now an improbable deflection. Someone, somewhere is looking out for them!!
