Everton's only change from the midweek win against the Black Cats was Senderos coming in for Buzz Lightyear.                             

 Everton were out of the blocks quickly and in the first few minutes a ball played over the top saw Tim Cahill get a head of steam past Wigan new signing Gary Caldwell. The Scottish slow coach was left behind until he grabbed hold of Tim's shirt. A blatant foul and sending off as he was the last man. But you only get things like this if the ref and linesman see it. We got fuck all.Everton continued to take the game to Wigan and Ossie had a chance, which he scuffed when well placed. At the back Heitinga and Senderos were doing well . The new signing endeared himself to the Everton fans with a few early crunching tackles and a few simple passes. He'll do for me.It was a battle all around the pitch and Everton had to match Wigan, who were getting stuck in. Wigan's hard work would have paid off if they had a striker of the calibre of King Louie. Thankfully they didn't and Howard dealt with a shot by Jason Scotland with ease. The Everton keeper also watched as two shots by Scotland and one by Rodallega flew into the in arms of Evertonians behind the goal instead of the net.At the other end Saha saw a shot deflect off Tim Cahill onto a post, then Wigan keeper Stojkovic brilliantly tipped his header over the bar and finally appealed unsuccessfully for a penalty when Caldwell decked himAgain Everton started the second half brightly and Bainsey had the Wigan keeper scrambling over to parry away a free kick. That was the last of the goal action for over 20 minutes. The game turned into a hard slog with Wigan slightly on top. The pitch was cutting up and Peanuts and Ossie were both finding it difficult getting their passing game going with the pie eaters breathing down their necks. Both players got booked as their frustration got the better of them. Some fans were not fearing any better, Saha and Cahill their targets.Everton stuck to their task and went down the other end to score a perfectly good goal. The linesman didn't think so and put his flag up to deny Felli. Tim Cahill had worked wonders to get to the byline and pull the ball back for the big wooly haired one to slot. Big Vic entered the frey for Lanny, who besides a few good runs had not been involved in the game that much.Everton finally got the goal they deserved when Saha did well to force a corner. Bainsey took it and Tim Cahill rose unmarked to crash a header home with only minutes to go. Cue bedlam in the away end and pockets of Everton fans in the main stand being escorted from the ground. Everton got lucky when a shot by N'zogbia smashed against the bar. Happy days!Everton just about deserved their win. Of course I'm biased, but the work the players put in matched that of the Wigan players and our class showed in the end. The star man for me was Tim Cahill. He's starting to get a bit of stick from some quarters, but this fella never gives less than 100% and is Everton through and through. He leads by example and even when he's not scoring or playing as well as his high standards take him he never hides. I love him. The redshite next week. Bring it on!
