Time:90'- Everton
- Wigan Athletic
90+1' That's it, full-time! Everton have won convincingly this afternoon, thrashing Wigan 4-0 at Goodison Park, thanks to a brace from Jo and strikes from Leon Osman and Marouane Fellaini. Thanks for joining us!- 90' One minute to be added at the end of this second half, which is petering out steadily.
- 89' Hibbert fouls N'Zogbia at the other end, as all of Wigan's play goes through the winger.
- 88' Leon Osman plays a one-two with Jo before being fouled by Scharner as the pace of the game slows further.
- 87' There is a subdued atmosphere at Goodison Park, purely because neither side are showing much ambition to push forward anymore.
- 86' N'Zogbia powers down the left at pace, but again his cross disappoints, with just Mido in the box.
- 85' Kirkland demonstrates Wigan's ambition now, as he rolls the ball out slowly to Melchiot, with players ahead of him in attacking positions.
- 84' Everton look as though they will certainly keep their clean sheet today with finishing like that from Rodallega.
- 83' Lescott is caught out for perhaps the first time in the match as Rodallega gets the wrong side of him, but shoots straight at Howard.
- 82' Paul Scharner and Tony Hibbert receive a lecture from Phil Dowd after a petulant little clash.
- 81' Jo dallies for too long inside the box, perhaps selfishly looking to shoot from a tight angle instead of passing to Rodwell inside him.
- 80' Everton have their entire team back in their half as they chase Wigan, who are holding possession, but not doing much with it: there simply is no invention going forward from the Latics this afternoon.
- 79' Wigan keep the ball efficiently in the Everton half, but create nothing as the hosts sit back with relative ease.
- 78' The tempo of the game is quite lethargic now, as both sets of players know the match is all but over.
- 77' Bramble and Jo clash in the air after a long ball from Jagielka almost finds its way through the Wigan defence.
- 76' Howard again plucks a looping cross from Rodallega out of the air comfortably, despite pressure from Mido.
- 75' Watson and Melchiot combine down the right for Wigan, but Howard collets the poor cross from the latter easily.
- 74' Tony Hibbert delivers a very poor cross after a fine Everton move ends in anti-climax.
- 73' Saha is back into his stride after he was fouled by Bramble, and the striker shows good pace in nearly latching on to Gosling's pass.
- 72' Osman shows his worth at both ends of the pitch again, passing to Saha, before chasing down Figueroa after possession was lost.
71' Titus Bramble fouls Louis Saha with a poor challenge which was very late - luckily the Frenchman is okay, with his injury record you always fear the worst.
69' A flurry of substitutions ensue, with Antonio Valencia coming off for Daniel de Ridder, while Louis Saha replaces Fellaini and Dan Gosling on for Steven Pienaar.
68' Hugo Rodallega comes very close to scoring for Wigan, with a sharp swivel and shot from the edge of the area which drifts narrowly wide.- 67' Paul Scharner makes a well-timed tackle on the edge of the penalty area, as Osman is caught in possession after Jo had fed him the ball.
- 66' Dan Gosling looks to be warming up very vigorously in what will be another Everton change.
- 65' Ben Watson unleashes a wild, but very promising shot, until it sails above Tim Howard's goal at the last moment.
- 64' Steve Bruce is sat down on his bench with his hands on his head looking very glum, as his players keep the ball pretty aimlessly at the back.
- 63' 18-year-old Jack Rodwell replaces Tim Cahill, with David Moyes able to indulge in making some substitutions to keep his players fresh and his promising youngsters a run-out.
- 62' Wigan looked stunned by what has happened in this second half. The departure of Brown has opened up space in midfield for Everton, who have exploited it perfectly.
61' GOAL!!! Leon Osman caps a superb all-action display for Everton with a deserved goal of his own to make it 4-0! Pienaar and Hibbert combined down the right, before Fellaini drives a shot which Kirkland parries into Osman's path.- 60' Watson drives a shot high and wide after a decent opening for Wigan allowed him space.
- 58' Mido puts Rodallega through on goal, but great defending by Phil Neville dispossesses him.
- 57' Mido attempts in vain to hold the ball up for the visitors, but he is ruthlessly closed down by both Lescott and Jagielka.
- 56' N'Zogbia floats a very deep free-kick beyond every Wigan player in the box which makes Steve Bruce irate on the touchline.
- 55' The two quick games have almost killed this game, with both sides content to pass the ball around without much intensity.
- 54' Jo is looking industrious in addition to his two goals, the striker is tirelessly pressing the Wigan back four at every opportunity.
- 53' Ben Watson clatters Jagielka which leaves David Moyes furious, but the midfielder clearly had eyes only for the ball, and Phil Dowd calmly awards a free-kick.
- 52' Pienaar fouls Valencia inside the Everton half, and Figueroa almost latches on to N'Zogbia's delivery, but Lescott nods the cross away for a corner.
- 51' GOAL!!! Jo scores Everton's third goal with a tap-in after Kirkland had parried Fellaini's drive from inside the area - the hosts are running away with this match now!
- 50' A superb defensive header by Joleon Lescott clears the danger under pressure from Rodallega.
- 49' Great delivery from the right by Hibbert almost finds Jo inside the six-yard box, but Kirkland shows good command of his area in coming to collect.
- 48' GOAL!!! Marouane Fellaini doubles Everton's lead with a fine finish, stroking his shot past Chris Kirkland from Leon Osman's cross.
- 47' Steven Pienaar almost slots in Jo, but Paul Scharner is sharply across to intervene for Wigan.
46' We're underway in the second half at Goodison Park, and Steve Bruce has taken off Michael Brown, who was becoming a bit of a liability with his robust tackling, and bringing on Hugo Rodallega in his place.- 45+1' Titus Bramble does superbly to out-muscle Jo and win a goal-kick, when a corner looked much more likely. The half-time whistle is then blown by Phil Dowd, with Everton leading 1-0 through Jo's 26th-minute strike.
- 45' Just the one minute to be added at the end of a first half, with Scharner launching a long ball up to Mido from a free-kick, but he can't pick the striker out.
- 45' Mido tussles again with Lescott, with the defender awarded a free-kick by Dowd: not much in that to be honest.
- 44' Brown and Scharner combine in midfield, before the former lashes a shot high and wide, accompanied by jeers from the home fans.
- 43' The pace of this game is pretty slow, with neither side seemingly willing to commit players forward in attack.
- 42' Figueroa and Melchiot exchange passes as Wigan seem to be playing out until half time, but they will need to attack more in the second half.
- 41' Lescott deals well with a testing through ball by Watson, but Mido couldn't get near to him.
- 40' Pienaar jinks in and out before smashing a shot wide, but that was bright play by the South African.
- 39' Hibbert launches a long ball up to Jo, but Bramble rises powerfully to head away.
- 38' Fellaini marks Mido inside the box, and the midfielder clears comfortably to alleviate the danger.
- 37' Steve Bruce must surely consider providing Mido with more support in the second half as the striker crosses to no one inside the box.
- 36' Baines and Lescott pass the ball around with worrying ease from a Wigan fans' perspective, with the visitors just having one man up front.
- 35' Mido puts himself about well, challenging aerially with Hibbert.
- 34' Smart defending by Figueroa denies Fellaini inside the box from getting a shot away.
- 33' Everton are in no hurry at all, passing the ball around at the back, with only Mido chasing them down.
- 32' A few Everton players appeal for Brown to be dismissed after a mis-timed tackle on Pienaar, but there was no intent.
- 31' Melchiot is tripped by Cahill as the play continues to be fragmented.
- 30' Mido fails to hold the ball up as N'Zogbia passes through to the Egyptian, but he's under pressure from four Everton defenders at times.
- 29' Osman whips in a fine delivery from a free-kick but Chris Kirkland punches away well.
- 28' Hibbert and Jo combine effectively down the right for Everton, before Figueroa makes a well-timed tackle.
- 27' Michael Brown is booked for raking Cahill on the calf - fair decision from Phil Dowd.
- 26' Tim Cahill finds himself through on goal with Jo in support, but the midfielder makes a hash of it, skewing his pass wide of his team-mate.
- 26' GOAL!!! Jo slots home from Leon Osman's through ball, eluding Wigan's offside trap, to give Everton the lead!
- 24' Wigan are sitting back further and further as Everton continue to press.
- 23' Baines then hacks down Valencia, but referee Phil Dowd deems it merely a misjudgement.
- 22' Scharner and Boyce crowd out the Everton dangerman Joleon Lescott, who loves to score with his head from set-pieces such as the one delivered by Baines.
- 21 Mario Melchiot is then booked for a cynical tug on Jo's shirt as the Brazilian was looking to turn and run beyond him.
- 20' Titus Bramble stays strong in beating Fellaini to the ball as Jagielka launches a long ball up to the tall midfielder.
- 19' Wigan captain Melchiot launches a mammoth throw-in into the Everton box, but Jagielka does well to clear up field.
- 18' Fellaini concedes yet another free kick, which is beginning to really frustrate the Everton fans, who are looking for their side to keep the ball a bit better.
- 17' Osman receives the ball on the edge of the Wigan box once more, but blazes his shot over the bar.
- 16' Fellaini is penalised, much in the manner of Peter Crouch, for simply being too tall for Michael Brown as the pair challenge for a ball in midfield.
- 15' A glorious chance falls to Wigan's Paul Scharner, as Antonio Valencia dinks a delightful delivery to the back post, where the Austrian rises above Hibbert, but heads over the bar from close range.
- 14' Steven Pienaar attempts to put Jo through on goal with a first-time delivery from an Everton counter-attack, but Ben Watson intercepts.
- 13' Leon Osman is everywhere for Everton as the midfielder makes tackles in defence, before storming forward to support Jo.
- 12' A long ball from Titus Bramble picks out Mido, who attempts an audacious first time shot, but unsurprisingly he fails to test Howard.
- 11' Osman and Fellaini combine well on the edge of the area, before the former is crowded out by Wigan defenders as he prepared to shoot.
- 10' Another decent chance for Everton, as Fellaini rises high above Melchiot to direct his header on target, but it doesn't have the power to trouble Chris Kirkland.
- 9' Lescott maruades forward down the left before feeding Fellaini, dropping off Scharner, but he can't turn the defender.
- 8' Wigan are dropping very deep, allowing Everton to come on to them, and attempting to hit them on the break through the pace of N'Zogbia down the left.
- 7' Everton seem content to be patient in possession, with a packed midfield proving conducive to quick, short passing.
- 6' A Fellaini knock-down header falls to Leon Osman, but the midfielder drags his shot wide from the edge of the Wigan box - he should have at least hit the target.
- 5' Phil Neville marshalls his team-mates, as Phil Jagielka heads back to Tim Howard under pressure from Mido.
- 4' As play settles down slightly, Maynor Figueroa and Mario Melchiot exchange an unnecessary number of passes out on the Wigan right, before Cahill fouls the Dutchman in frustration.
- 3' Paul Scharner, with blue-dyed hair, wins a towering header to prevent Jo from receiving Hibbert's through ball.
- 2' Wigan take the opportunity of Chris Kirkland's comfortable save from Baines's over-hit effort, to stroke the ball around at the back.
1' We're underway at Goodison Park, and straight away Leighton Baines has an opportunity to whip in a testing left-footed free-kick.
- Both sides begin with a solitary striker in attack: Jo leads the line for Everton, while Mido is up front on his own for Wigan, leaving responsibility with the likes of Tim Cahill and Charles N'Zogbia to join in support.
