Good afternoon and welcome to LIVE coverage of Sunderland against Everton in the Premier League. It is a 13:30 kick-off.

There goes the final whistle! It is 1-1. A competitive match. Both teams committed, but no winner from this contest.

Wes Brown with a header from the Bridcutt cross, but McCarthy is back on his line to scoop the ball clear. Everton almost beaten in stoppage time.

We are into four minutes of time added onto this match. McCarthy rejoins the action for Everton.

Howard does well to lie on the ball rather than handle outside of his box. Meanwhile, McCarthy is on the ground here requiring some treatment.

Buckley on the run for Sunderland. A lovely cross into the area, but cleared by Baines who got his clearance spot on.

McCarthy dances into the Sunderland box, but the ball comes off Eto'o before dropping behind the Everton goal.

Everton score for the seventh Premier League away match in a row, their best streak since a nine-match run between September 2012 – January 2013. Sunderland have now failed to keep a clean sheet for the fifth consecutive PL match – they have now kept just one clean sheet in their last 10 PL home matches against Everton.

Leighton Baines returns to scoring form, after his first ever penalty kick miss against Man Utd in a 2-1 away loss on 5 October 2014. He has now scored 15/16 Premier League penalties.

Who is going to grab the winning goal here? Larsson late on Naismith.

Wickham should have been off the park for his tackle at the penalty. McCarthy with a clear handling offence. But no second booking from Lee Mason.

GOAL! Baines drives the ball down the middle. Pantilimon should have saved that effort as it flew under his body.

Bit of a delay in proceedings. Baines is going to take this penalty. Mason consults his assistant referee.

PENALTY TO EVERTON! Wickham late on Coleman. Takes a bit of the ball, but also the man. Referee decides it is a spot-kick.
