The final whistle goes at Goodison Park, and Everton have clinched a crucial three points with a 3-1 victory over Wigan courtesy of two late strikes from Drenthe and Vellios! Thanks for joining me.
GOAL!!!! DRENTHE SCORES! Everton net their third goal of the game as Drenthe is on hand to put away a clinical finish and that wraps up the three points for the Toffees!
Howard lumps a long ball into the Wigan half, and that is where Everton look to keep the ball in the final minute.
A very fine cross from Baines splits the Wigan back four, but Osman is unable to capitalise at the back post!
Both sides are battling exceptionally hard to gain possession in the final stages with Wigan very dogged.
Shaun Maloney is the man to come on for Rodallega, and that will be a real concern for Martinez.
Hugo Rodallega goes down in a crumpled heap following a challenge with Hibbert, and he is stretchered off the field. That looked nasty!
Jones hits the bar! Everton switch off at the back and the substitute Jones sees his looping shot rebound cruelly off the bar with Tim Howard comprehensively beaten!
GOAL!!!!!! VELLIOS SCORES FOR EVERTON! Hibbert whips over a delightful cross from the right, and Vellios rises imperiously to head beyond Al Habsi with a brilliant finish!
Everton continue to press forward, and the hosts are by far the more urgent of the two sides in terms of looking for a winner.
Tim Cahill departs as Denis Stracqualursi comes on to make his debut, and this will be very interesting!
Wigan build from deep, and the home fans are getting increasingly impatient and frustrated at what they are seeing.
Di Santo continues to work tirelessly as he skips past Hibbert, but he runs the ball out of play and a goal kick results.
Van Aanholt skips inside from the left with an exquisite few touches, before curling a good effort narrowly wide!
Di Santo and Jagielka resume their battle as the pair scrap for the ball inside the Everton half, but the forward is eventually penalised.
Watson is given a stern ticking off by Martinez as he lumps a long ball into the direction of no one in particular, and Everton can build once more.
Everton have enjoyed 74 per cent of the possession in the last five minutes, but the hosts are not creating much with it.
Distin defends obdurately to thwart Moses, and Everton can clear upfield and alleviate the pressure from their goal.
Baines is the latest to be found guilty of not squaring the ball to Osman as he flies through on goal and eventually loses it - Osman must feel like no one wants to pass to him!
