Tim Cahill was the Everton hero as David Moyes' side took the points at the Riverside Stadium. The Australian midfielder forced home the ball in the 49th minute following a goalmouth scramble after his first effort was saved by the home goalkeeper Ross Turnbull. Steven Pienaar earlier had a goal disallowed after a foul on Turnbull, while at the end Afonso Alves went closest for beaten Boro. sports@thenational.ae
