Wigan Athletic 2 Everton 2: match report David Moyes said before this match that the DNA of Everton is evolving all the time but one constant has been their ability to recover through spirit and energy. After Wigan's opener, that was evident immediately when Pienaar provided his ninth assist of 2012 - more than any other player in the league - by crossing for Jelavic to head between the legs of Ali Al Habsi at the back post. Soon, Everton's flaw - a lack of focus during transitional periods of play- was exposed again when Gary Caldwell hit a long ball towards Kone. The Ivorian outsprinted and outmuscled John Heitinga to square for Franco Di Santo. With no midfielders following the run, Di Santo's finish was unstoppable. Everton struggled with the movement of Wigan's front three. Heitinga was particularly insecure and it was unsurprising when he did not appear for the second half, substituted for Sylvain Distin. At the other end, however, Everton were more confident and patient in their build up. They could have equalised when Leighton Baines hit a post following a dart from left back. Ali Al Habsi also did well to tip over a deflected effort from Leon Osman. The first half flashpoint came just before half-time when Fellaini challenged Maynor Figueroa on the half way line. The Moroccan had endured an exasperating afternoon to that point; frequently hustled out of possession whenever it came his way by Wigan defenders clearly intent on frustrating Everton's most dangerous player in the air. Fellaini - as he always does - used his arms for leverage and his elbow appeared to connect with Figueroa's face. Roberto Martinez, the Wigan manager, was in his technical area five yards away from the incident and incandescent. Yet referee Kevin Friend only produced a yellow. He later produced the same card for Jelavic when the Croatian tangled with Ivan Ramis. Martinez once again was clearly unhappy. Chances would arrive for the visitors. Kevin Mirallas should have done a lot better when he fired over after clever approach work involving Pienaar and Baines. The Belgian, repositioned in the centre for the second half, soon forced Al-Habsi into a full-stretch save. Everton deserved a point, maybe more. A penalty should have been theirs when Figueroa chopped down Jelavic in the box. They were eventually awarded one when Caldwell upended Mirallas and Baines dispatched the kick into the top corner.
