"Sunderland's unbeaten start in the Premier League at the Stadium of Light continued as Granit Xhaka's deflected strike earned a 1-1 draw with Everton on Monday. The Black Cats' captain got the equaliser just 42 seconds after the break, cancelling out Iliman Ndiaye's stunning first-half goal. James Garner drilled wide with just 12 seconds on the clock, before Ndiaye broke the deadlock 15 minutes in."
"Sunderland may not be known for their fast starts, but they will not be counted out when going behind; they have won eight points from losing positions this term, more than any other side. They now have 18 points from their opening 10 Premier League games this season (W5 D3 L2), the most by a newly promoted side since Hull City in 2008-09 (20)."
Sunderland secured a 1-1 draw with Everton at the Stadium of Light after Iliman Ndiaye opened the scoring with a left-footed strike that beat Robin Roefs. Granit Xhaka levelled just 42 seconds into the second half when his shot took a significant deflection off James Tarkowski and ricocheted in. Everton had early chances from James Garner and Jack Grealish and saw Thierno Barry miss a clear opportunity inside the six-yard box. Robin Roefs made late saves to preserve the draw. Sunderland have 18 points from 10 games and have recovered eight points from losing positions this season.
