Hello and welcome to our LIVE text commentary of Sunderland's Premier League clash with Everton from the Stadium of Light. All eyes will be on David Moyes this evening. The Black Cats boss is certainly familiar with Toffees. Moyes was in charge of Everton for 427 Premier League games between 2002 and 2013 (P427 W173 D123 L131). This is the third longest spell of any manager in the Premier League era, behind Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United and Arsene Wenger at Arsenal. In the present, Moyes's former side can go second with victory this evening, while Sunderland will be looking for a first league success of the season. I'm Pete Hall, and I will be bringing you the action, as it happens, live! The teams are in...

90+3'
After a cagey first half, Ronald Koeman's men stepped it up after the break to devastating effect. Lukaku, who had gone 1029 minutes without finding the net for his club, scored three times in 11 minutes to ensure David Moyes again tasted defeat against his former employer. The hosts rarely troubled Maarten Stekelenburg in the visitors' goal. Toffees sit third as a result of the comfortable victory, while the Black Cats remain winless. Thanks for joining us. Full report and reaction to follow on site. Goodbye.

Van Aarnholt is down, adding to Moyes's woes. His poor record against his former employer goes on.
84'
SAVE! Pickford gets two strong hands behind a fierce drive from Lukaku. Sunderland hanging onto what little credibility they have left.

CLOSE! Deulofeu again the danger, as he does well to carry the ball into box, patiently waits for time to shoot, but drags the ball just wide.
81'
Exciting times for Everton. Koeman was bold bringing off Barkley, but Deulofeu has made plenty of difference.

A third career treble for Lukaku, but it is all too easy for the visitors. Mirallas releases Lukaku, who races clear, just about beating the offside trap, before passing the ball into the bottom corner to net his third goal in 11 minutes!

GOAL! Sunderland 0-3 Everton. Hat-trick for Lukaku as he slots the ball home to surely secure three points for the Toffees.
69'
You wait six months for a goal for your club, and then two come in eight minutes. Superb from Bolasie, who sashays his way through to get to the byline, before clipping a superb cross to the back post, where Lukaku is waiting to head home with ease.
