Wigan 0 Everton 1: Flag day for Cahill as sloppy Latics forget their lines
Tim Cahill took full advantage of Wigan's pathetic defending to extend Everton's unbeaten run in the Premier League to nine matches.[LNB]Six minutes from time, the corner flag was getting its trademark battering from a flurry of Cahill punches as he celebrated a match-winning goal. [LNB]Leighton Baines swung in a searching corner and the Australian timed his jump to perfection. Totally unopposed, Cahill planted a typically forceful header past a static Vladimir Stojkovic. [LNB] Heads up: Cahill scores Everton's late winner at the DW Stadium[LNB]Perhaps his marker, Maynor Figueroa, was still celebrating signing a new deal. He certainly was not alert to Cahill's elusive run, although Wigan boss Roberto Martinez came up with an interesting excuse. [LNB]He said: 'Someone trod on Maynor's foot and he has blood on his sock.'[LNB] [LNB] [LNB]Delight: Tim Cahill celebrates with team-mate Steven Pienaar[LNB]Everton manager David Moyes said: 'It's pretty hard to do that.' And replays suggested Figueroa had lost his man before he fell. [LNB]Martinez added: 'We seem to panic in these situations because we conceded two goals from set-pieces during the week.' [LNB]Moyes was delighted with his match-winner and said: 'He knows what he is capable of and he hasn't done it so much this season. But now he is fitter and is much more like the old Cahill. It was a trademark goal.' [LNB]John Heitinga had an escape when his foul on Charles N'Zogbia - who later struck the bar - was judged to have been just outside the area.[LNB]'It was on the line and continued inside the box so it has to be a penalty,' said Martinez.[LNB] [LNB] Hands off: Everton's John Heitinga tangles with Paul Scharner[LNB] [LNB]Moyes argued another incident was more worthy of a spot-kick. Hesaid: 'Gary Caldwell's foul on Louis Saha was a stonewall penalty. Andno one was offside as Marouane Fellaini put the ball in the net.' [LNB]Cahill was harshly ruled offside in that 74th-minute incident, justbefore Fellaini tapped home. But when it really mattered Everton andCahill came up with the knockout punch.[LNB] Wigan look set to land £2m Victor MosesWigan willing to let Sunderland target Maynor Figueroa leave in the summerEVERTON FC
