EVERTON came from behind to earn a 1-1 draw with Sunderland in the two English Premier League teams' FA Cup quarterfinal at Goodison Park in Liverpool yesterday.
A frenetic first half saw Sunderland take an early lead through fullback Phil Bardsley before Everton leveled 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 goalkeeper Tim Howard no chance.
Yet Everton, aiming to bounce back from its 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.
Leighton Baines swung in a cross from the left and Nikica Jelavic's header found Cahill, who reacted swiftly to steer in the equalizer.
The result means David Moyes' Toffees must now travel to the Stadium of Light for a replay as they attempt to return to Wembley three years after their defeat in the final against Chelsea.
Later in the day, Tottenham Hotspur was entertaining Bolton Wanderers.
Today, 2010 winner Chelsea hosts second tier Leicester City and last year's runner-up Stoke City visits Liverpool in their quarterfinals.
