Everton came from behind to earn a 1-1 draw with Sunderland in the two Premier League teams\' FA Cup quarter-final at Goodison Park yesterday. A frenetic first half saw Sunderland take an early lead through full-back Phil Bardsley before Everton levelled 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 low shot that gave Everton keeper Tim Howard no chance. Yet Everton, aiming to bounce back from their Merseyside derby mauling in midweek, drew level just over ten 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 the equaliser. Everton defender Phil Neville admitted his side were disappointed at their failure to secure a win on home turf. \"We had home advantage we wanted to win,\" Neville said. \"We didn\'t start the game well, and we\'re disappointed we didn\'t play more a bit. \"Maybe the occasion got to us. We didn\'t capitalise on our chances.\" Sunderland manager Martin O\'Neill refused to agree that Sunderland\'s home advantage in the replay could tip the tie in their favour. \"My own view is the game is in the balance, even though we have home advantage it doesn\'t mean anything,\" he said.
