Anthony Gordon's superb free-kick three minutes from time earned Everton a 2-1 victory over Sunderland and a place in the quarter-finals of the Premier League Cup.
The Toffees took the lead after 66 minutes when Bassala Sambou scored from the penalty spot after Gordon (pictured above, centre) was fouled.
Sunderland equalised through a Williams Kokolo header with nine minutes remaining, but it was Gordon's brilliance that secured Everton a quarter-final home tie with Blackburn Rovers.
