Everton came from behind to earn a 1-1 draw with Sunderland in the two Premier League teams' FA Cup quarter-final at Goodison Park on Saturday. A frenetic first half saw Sunderland take an early lead through fullback Phil Bardsley before Everton levelled with a header from Tim Cahill.
Sunderland's opener came after a cleverly worked free-kick on 12 minutes, Jack Colback squaring to Bardsley who lashed home a thunderous low shot that gave Everton keeper Tim Howard no chance. Yet Everton, aiming to bounce back from their Merseyside derby mauling in midweek, drew level just over 10 minutes later with a goal that owed everything to the predatory instincts of Australian international Cahill.
