Danny Graham broke his Sunderland goalscoring duck - just - as they defeated Everton 2-0 on Merseyside today.

Graham hung out a leg to meet a wayward Jordi Gomez shot, the ball sneaking in off the post via the striker's calf.

Jermain Defoe added a scrappy second as Sunderland climbed from third-bottom to 14th place for a few hours at least.

James McCarthy hit the post for the hosts who failed to score for the first time in eight league matches.
