The Black Cats hadn’t won on Wearside in over three months but followed up their impressive Tyne-Wear derby victory last Sunday with a result that lifts them six points above the relegation zone.
It was the Toffees who started brighter as they sought a success that would cement their position in the top-six but were close to going behind when Sebastian Larsson clipped the bar with a free kick.
Larsson’s threat from range continued to grow as he fired narrowly wide and forced Tim Howard into a save before Everton gifted Di Canio’s side the lead in first half injury time.
Howard dispatched the ball to Baines but the usually reliable left back relinquished possession in a dangerous area and Sessegnon was quick to punish him as he stabbed the ball into the bottom left hand corner.
The visitors pressed hard for an equaliser and almost drew level in bizarre fashion when Simon Mignolet was almost caught out by an overhit backpass that forced him to backpedal and catch the ball before it crossed the line. Referee Phil Dowd blew for a free kick but Baines could only fire into the wall as Sunderland held on.
Paolo Di Canio post match…”We did a good job. The lads have done an amazing job in the last few weeks and this is the result. I was a footballer at many clubs and it isn’t easy when there’s a change. The players can smile now.”
David Moyes post match…”We could have had a point quite easily but we didn’t create enough clear opportunities. We probably didn’t deserve to lose the game but we didn’t play well enough to win it. It was a poor game. I don’t think now we can make the Champions League.”
Good day for…Alfred N’diaye: With captain Lee Cattermole missing N’diaye has stepped in to fill the ‘tough guy’ breach in Sunderland’s midfield and followed up his excellent Tyne-Wear display with a towering performance against Everton.
Bad day for…Darron Gibson: The Toffees playmaker found it difficult to get into the game during the first and he was well shackled by Sunderland’s central duo of Larsson and N’diaye. Subbed at the break.
