Manager David Moyes admits Everton are "fortunate" to have only conceded one goal in their 2-1 win over Sunderland.
Sunderland had led at halftime through Adam Johnson, but squandered chances to extend their lead before two second-half goals in four minutes from Marouane Fellaini and Nikica Jelavic gave the Toffees victory.
It was the sixth time in a row Everton have managed to avoid defeat after conceding the first goal and Moyes says his side "deserve credit" for their recent form.
