Roberto Martinez delighted with Everton reaction

Everton boss Roberto Martinez has revealed that he was delighted with his side's reaction to going a goal down in their draw against Sunderland.

Leighton Baines scored from the penalty spot to earn the Toffees a point at the Stadium of Light after Sebastian Larsson had given the Black Cats the lead in the 67th minute.

"I am disappointed to have dropped two points but pleased with the way we reacted once we went 1-0 down," Martinez told the club's official website.

"I thought we started really well. We had a real intent and we controlled the game with ease for long spells. But we didn't use that control to create clear cut opportunities.

"Sometimes the final ball wasn't there, or it was the wrong run, and it didn't allow us to score the first goal that I felt we needed today. We played a well-organised Sunderland side and that first goal was going to be decisive. Once they get it, I was extremely pleased with the reaction we had."

Everton are 10th in the Premier League following their draw with Gus Poyet's side.
