Everton is still playing without a striker as Timmy continues as a stand-in striker. Ossie is back in place of debutant Dan Gosling.
WONDERFUL GOAL! In the 9th minute, Everton won a free kick close to the edge of the 6 yard box. Up stepped Arteta, blasted a swirling ball through the wall and into goal! Everton 1-0 Sunderland.
Timmy nearly scored in the 12th minute but it was deemed a handball by Timmy. The opponent's trying to breach the gap from Everton right, where Hibbo is not the fastest of all players.
Confusion in the Sunderland's defence and goalkeeper in the 25th minute that nearly led to Fellaini scoring. The ball was just nicked away at the right time. Arteta scored again inthe 26th minute!!! Pienaar was fouled close to the 6 yard box once again. Arteta stood in front of the ball, curled into the wall, which ricochet back to Arteta. He gave the ball another blast and the ball took a wicked deflection as it propelled into the net. Everton 2-0 Sunderland.
In the 30th minute, Arteta once again took a free kick on the left channel. Timmy rose the highest and powered the shot just past the goal post. Everton's still inthe driving seat at half time.
It's wonderful to see that Jag has the speed to make sure opposing strikers do not spring ast him in terms of speed. Howard finally had to make his first serious save in the 65th minute. Good shot by the opposing team.
Ossie did well but just missed the goalpost. In the 68th minute, he took the ball down well, turned and took a shot just wide. That was Ossie final shot as he was replaced by Gosling.
Arteta had a chance in the 73rd minute when Gosling was being tackled and the free kick was once again taken just outside the 6 yard box. Just a tad bit too high. Fellaini leaving the field for Anichebe.
Arteta is the man of the match for me as he was just everywhere. Defending, tackling, and fighting for every ball.
And the dream has turned to reality form Dan Gosling! In the 82nd minute, Arteta held the ball on the left wing and made a nice pass to Lescott who was all the way up in attack. You just know that Lescott will not shoot after so many misplaced shots in past games, and he indeed made a pass. An incisive one indeed as Gosling just had to place his foot in and score. Everton 3-0 Sunderland.
Timmy gothis well deserved rest as he was replaced by youngster Jutkiewicz.
Then in the 88th minute, Gosling was there to create another chance with a through pass to Pienaar who was at the end of the ball but it was only the opposing goalkeeper's stop that prevented him from scoring. This is one of Everton's largest win of the season. Great victory as Everton continues their climb up the league table.
