Everton players’ motivated ahead Sunderland clash’

Everton manager Roberto Martinez says his players remain fully motivated ahead of their clash with Sunderland today. The 42-year-old accused his side of getting swept up in the occasion of Saturday’s 3-1 defeat to champions Leicester City, who were presented the Premier League trophy after the match.  That defeat extended Everton’s winless league run to five matches and piled further pressure on Martinez, who has faced growing criticism from the fans in recent weeks, but he insists his players showed their determination to finish the campaign strongly with their efforts late on against Leicester.
