Sunderland flipped the prices on their head

The final score was Everton 1-3 Sunderland. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.

Everton struck first through Merlin Röhl 43', but Sunderland recovered and flipped the match.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Everton led Shots on target 4-3, even though the scoreboard went another way. Everton also shaded Total shots 10-7.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Everton the favourite at 54.1% implied probability. That market lean missed.
