EVERTON (2) vs (0) SUNDERLAND - FULL TIME

Everton had a horrible FA Cup game and they really have to lift themselves out of that and concntrate on the league for now. Sanderos and long term absentees Arteta, Vaughany and Anichebe are on the bench. Yipee!

What a wonderful start! Everton scores with their first attack in the 6th minute. Felli holds the ball just outside the penalty box. He was given loads of time and space to put in a lovely cross that Timmy back-headed into goal. Everton 1-0 Sunderland. Assist: Felli.

The Toffees are fighting for every ball right now and are not giving the opponents much space to breathe.

Everton is scoring without breaking a sweat! Donovan scores his first goal for Everton in the 18th minute! He should definitely extend his stay in Everton! Pienaar puts in a cross. Timmy cushioned it down for Donovan who sprinted away from the opposing defender to score the second goal. Everton 2-0 Sunderland. Assist: Timmy. What a game Timmy is having.

A tremendous turn by Ossie in the 33rd minute and he shoots on goal, saved by the goalkeeper. Everton is giving a very good account of themselves.

Everton is starting to slack off a little and they are not marking their opponents as tightly as they should be. They have to start pulling their weight once again!

Half time: Everton 2-0 Sunderland.

Everton started as how they have ended. They continue in their amazing run.

So close for Everton! Donovan had a sure goal that was cleared off the line in the 57th minute! Everton is pressing for their third goal. Bainsey is making alot of overlapping runs on the left, though his long passes are much left to be desired.

Things are getting a bit messy and I think it's time for Moyes to ring in some changes. Neville is lobbing the ball all over the place. Everton's losing steam. We need to do something quick!

Great! Arteta is in for Donovan in the 74th minute. Good overall play by Donovan! Vaughany is in for Saha in the 77th minute. Even now, Neville is still putting in aimless long balls.

Why are we placed under pressure in the last 5 minutes? We should be pressing them! Wonderful save by Howard. So close to a Sunderland goal. Everton third substitution, we welcome back Anichebe who comes on for Pienaar in the 90th minute. We just need these kind of strength in depth. Howard made another wonderful save to keep his clean sheet.

Great end to the game though once again, Everton seemed to play well in only one half and had won it becaue of their suerior play in the first half.

Score: Everton 2-0 Sunderland
Scorers: Timmy, Donovan
Assists: Felli, Timmy
Subs: Arteta, Vaughany, Anichebe
