Everton 2-1 Wigan

Goals from England duo of Leon Osman and Phil Jagielka secure a 2-1 victory over Wigan at Goodison Park.

Leon Osman opened the scoring in the 52nd minute when his effort deflected off the under-arm of Gary Caldwell to wrong-foot Ali Al-Habsi and open the scoring.

On 77 minutes, Phil Neville´s floated cross was perfectly met by Jagielka´s powerful leap to make it 2-0 and seemingly put the game beyond doubt.

But Wigan´s Kone ensured a nervy final ten minutes minutes when he held off both Distin and Jagielka to toe-poke home and halve the deficit, but Everton clung on to ensure the Latics´ winless run stretched to six games.
