Everton took their streak to four wins when accounting for Sunderland 3-0 at Goodison Park.

The recent run of good form has put the Toffees in European contention now as they jump to sixth on the table, just three points behind Arsenal in the top four.

A Mikel Arteta first-half double made it hard for the Black Cats who were without key defender Anton Ferdinand and when Goodison Park debutant Dan Gosling netted in the 83rd minute, the result was put to rest.
