Everton 6-2 Sunderland

A quite extraordinary afternoon at Goodison Park as Everton ran riot over the Black Cats. Sunderland had hit the post twice before Gerard Deulofeu opened the scoring on 19 minutes, then Arouna Kone netted the first of his treble.

Jermain Defoe then Steven Fletcher hauled the visitors level on 50 minutes – but then the Toffees took charge.
