Toffees win, but Moyes left feeling frustrated

Everton 2 Sporting Lisbon 1

Moyes’ side seemed to shrug off the loss of Fellaini, who needs ankle surgery, by racing into a two-goal lead against Sporting Lisbon, thanks to Steven Pienaar and Sylvain Distin.

However the game took a twist with four minutes left when Miguel Veloso scored from the spot after Distin floored Liedson, the defender sent off in the process. It means Everton face a difficult trip to Portugal next week.
