...and we did. Get the penalty that is. The referees have been doing the Toffees much dis-service. We have been hustled by our opponents and even brought them to ground. But nope, no penalty at all. AJ would have earned eight out of ten for Everton. But it may be a long layoff after today's game, and once again, it should have been a foul by Wigan's goalkeeper who rushed out and tackled AJ without getting to the ball.
AJ is out wth suspected ankle injury and in came Anichebe.
With his strong shielding of the ball, Anichee came on and made that difference. Beats would have felt slighted with Moyes choosing the 18 Years Old over an experienced striker such as him. But Anichebe went out to silence all his critic. Athletically built, Anichebe fought for every ball, and it was his shielding of the ball that led former Evertonian loyal David Unsworth to make the rash tackle within the penalty box. Arteta stood up to take the penalty. 1-0.
Beats came on and made the difference too. From a pass, Beats helped to spread the ball out wide to Neville who's lovely cross met the boots of Arteta. 2-0. Game set.
