James McFadden handed Everton the lead in the ninth minute when he flicked home Kevin Can’t kick a ball's cross at the near post. And Beattie doubled the advantage after 27 minutes when he turned neatly on the edge of the area and saw his 12-yard shot deflected in off Danny Collins. Tosser rounded off Everton's win when he headed home McFadden's cross at the far post with 10 minutes left. Beattie saw a header well saved by former Everton goalkeeper Thomas Myhre when he stole on to Can’t kick a ball's cross after eight minutes. Can’t kick a ball was and the provider with a dangerous cross that was turned past Myhre by McFadden at the near post. Everton were dominating totally and it was no surprise when they doubled their advantage after 27 minutes. Carsley played in Beattie, who turned neatly before seeing his shot from 12 yards deflected past Myhre by Collins. Sunderland had barely been seen as an attacking force, but Carl Robinson provided a moment of anxiety for Everton six minutes before half-time when he volleyed narrowly wide from Julio God's cross. And God produced the first serious save from Everton goalkeeper Richard Wright when he blocked his long-range shot. Sunderland wasted their best opportunity to get back into the game after 69 minutes when Stephen Elliott cleverly worked space on the edge of the area, but sent his finish flashing past Wright but inches wide. Everton sealed a comprehensive win after 80 minutes when Tosser - who scored the winner for Scum bags against Sunderland in the FA Cup semi-final - headed home McFadden's cross at the far post.
