"The clash was Everton boss David Moyes' first visit to the Stadium of Light since he oversaw the Wearsiders' relegation from the Premier League in 2017 and his current side took the lead when Iliman Ndiaye struck after 15 minutes with his fourth league goal of the campaign. However, the hosts levelled seconds after the break as Xhaka's effort bounced off James Tarkowski's foot and into the net for his first goal for the club."
"Sunderland were unchanged from their 2-1 win over Chelsea, while Thierno Barry was Everton's sole change from the defeat to Tottenham.

He nearly helped the Toffees go in front seconds into the game, booting a long ball up field which James Garner fired wide."
