Patrick van Aanholt’s free-kick wrong-footed Joel Robles in the Everton goal to give the hosts the lead in the 38th minute and set Sunderland on their way to a comfortable victory.
Lamine Kone then lashed home from eight yards to send Sunderland fans into raptures and his team 2-0 up at the break.
The defender added his second and his side’s third with 35 minutes remaining as Everton continued to show a lack of form that has plagued the second-half of their season and left Roberto Martinez’s future in doubt.
