Barry fails to step up for Everton as Beto struggles
Thierno Barry almost added to Everton’s lead after Ndiaye’s shot. But he missed from three yards out in the 28th minute, which proved vital.
Coach David Moyes mixed things up by starting Barry, a £27-million signing from Villarreal, over Beto.
The Toffees started two strikers, but neither Barry nor Beto scored.
After Xhaka’s shot, Everton had no real chances except for a late attempt by Vitalii Mykolenko that went wide.
Moyes, the ex-Black Cats boss, hopes to revive the Toffees. They have only one win in their past eight matches.
What’s Next:
Sunderland: Return to Stadium of Light to host the Sunderland vs Arsenal fixture on November 8, 2025.
Everton: Back at home to host the Everton vs Fulham fixture on November 8, 2025.
The result means Sunderland remains within striking distance of second-placer Man City (6-1-3) and Liverpool (6-0-4).
The Black Cats must stay careful. Bournemouth (5-3-2), at No. 5, is close behind in fifth place.
Everton is tied with Newcastle for 13th place in the EPL league table with 3-3-4 records.
Closely following them are their next opponents, Fulham (3-2-5), and Leeds United (3-2-5).
