    Romelu Lukaku

    Romelu Lukaku is through on goal, he rounds the keeper and sidefoots home.

    And for those Fantasy Football managers out there, the assist came courtesy of Gerard Deulofeu's sublime sliderule pass.

    Richard Parfitt: Deulofeu wins the most ridiculous dive of the season so far. The defender was closer to bringing me down than he was Deulofeu.

    Giannina Caraceni: Deulofeu brought a little bit of Spain back with him? The girls at #GymnasticsWorldChamps, external would be proud of that fall

    Seb Coates own goal

    This game is turning into a cracker.

    Everton re-take the lead in fortuitous circumstances when Gerard Deulofeu's cross from the right is turned into his own net by Seb Coates.

    The defender got to the ball before Romelu Lukaku and just poked it past the keeper.

    To make the goal extra special for Everton fans, Coates is a former Liverpool defender.

  4. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 54 mins

    Everton 2-2 Sunderland

    That's an awful dive from Gerard Deulofeu who flings himself to the floor in the penalty area after losing control of the ball.

    Play continues and 60 seconds or so later, the Spaniard is booked for simulation. And quite right too.

    Who is the most naturally talented player never to win a trophy?

    Nonso: Jay Jay Okocha, he won nothing at the club level.  

    Tom Robinson: Johnny Haynes.

    Euan MacTaggart: Juan Roman Riquelme. Best passer of a ball I've ever seen but never won a major trophy.

    Steven Fletcher

    Shows what I know, hey?

    Sunderland are level - and Everton only have themselves to blame. Jermain Defoe has the ball in the corner, he passes to Patrick van Aanholt who stands up a cross from the left andSteven Fletcherbeats Ramiro Funes Mori in the air to head home from six yards.

    Plenty of chances to stop that goal. None taken. 2-2.

    Big Sam looks very agitated on the touchline, as though he can't remember where he put his car keys. Everton have started the second half better than his side.

    I asked you who was the most naturally talented footballer never to win a trophy...

    Matthew Hearn: What about Emmanuel Adebayor? Don't think he ever won anything and has played for Arsenal, Real Madrid and Man City! 

    Nilesh Patel: Most naturally talented footballers never to win a trophy has to go to Matt Le Tissier, Saints legend.

    Everton 2-1 Sunderland

    Sunderland manager Sam Allardyce is late to return to his seat after half-time, and he emerges from the tunnel holding a very small mug of tea.

    I think it was a small cup, and it's not because Big Sam has giant hands.

    Who knows?

    Is it unfair to suggest Jermain Defoe should have achieved an awful lot more in his career for a man who clearly was born to score goals.

    Am I right in thinking he has never won a trophy?

    Everton 2-1 Sunderland

    The stats keep on coming today - Jermain Defoe has scored in five of his last eight Premier League appearances at Goodison Park.

    He loves it on Merseyside. The blue half, at least.

    Everton 2-1 Sunderland

    As an idea of how that near 75% possession is being used by Everton, take a look at the two teams' heatmaps. I don't need to tell you that Everton are on the left.

    But with a man like Jermain Defoe up top, Sunderland can never be discounted.

    Jermain Defoe

    Jermain Defoe has got a nose like a cocker spaniel when he gets a sniff of goal.

    He collects the ball just outside the area, gets in front of John Stones and then nips the ball past Ramiro Funes Mori before a neat finish deflects off Stones and into the back of the net.
