Everton took the lead through Iliman Ndiaye, who fired in a brilliant goal after a quick counterattack. Sunderland responded fiercely, and Granit Xhaka equalized early in the second half with a deflected strike that left the goalkeeper helpless. Both sides created several chances afterward, but neither could find the winning goal. The result reflects the determination and balance between the two teams, as Sunderland continue their steady run while Everton earn a hard-fought point away from home.
