Everton 2 Wigan 1: Baines late show gives Moyes men a timely lift

31 August 2009 00:33
His Everton teammates are still not firing on as many cylinders as last season, but no one could question Leighton Baines's nerve after Goodison Park staged the sort of grandstand finish that has become a speciality in recent years. The third of four added minutes was under way when Emmerson Boyce hauled down Everton substitute Jo from behind for the clearest of spot-kicks. Only a few seconds at the most ticked by between the penalty being awarded and taken, but it must have seemed like an eternity to Everton left back Baines as he considered the stakes against his old club after David Moyes's side had given their all to turn round an alarming return of two defeats from their first two games.
