"Granit Xhaka's first goal for Sunderland earned them a deserved point at home to Everton which lifted the Black Cats to fourth in the Premier League table. Everton were dominant for the first half hour and led through Iliman Ndiaye's wonderful solo goal. They could have had more, but were then anonymous for the next 60 minutes as the hosts took complete control."
"Xhaka rattled in 45 seconds into the second half and despite nine more shots on goal they could not find a way past returning former favourite Jordan Pickford. A win would have taken the hosts second but they will still be delighted with 18 points from their opening 10 games back in the top flight. Everton have been solid enough under David Moyes and went close after just 12 seconds when James Garner lashed wide."
Everton dominated the opening half hour and took the lead through Iliman Ndiaye's solo goal after he cut inside from the right and bent a fine shot in from the edge of the area. Jack Grealish hit the post and Thierno Barry missed a sitter, leaving Everton without another shot on goal until the 85th minute. Sunderland improved late in the first half and equalised 45 seconds into the second after Enzo Le Fee's effort was blocked and Granit Xhaka followed in, his shot deflecting off James Tarkowski and the crossbar before beating Jordan Pickford. Sunderland controlled much of the second half, using long throws and pressure, and secured a deserved 1-1 draw to reach 18 points from 10 games.
