Everton v Wigan: Player ratings

FILAN: A breath-taking one-handed save when McFadden's cross was dummied by Bent justified his recall7

CHIMBONDA: Rapidly becoming a cult hero for 100 percent defending and whippet-like attacking8

BAINES: Given a difficult ride at times by McFadden but kept on battling6

HENCHOZ: Didn't shirk Everton's physical challenge, even when Duncan Ferguson came on7

De ZEEUW: Stood like a totem of Wigan's defensive resistance, no quarter given or taken8

BULLARD: Marginalised out on the right of midfield, but never stopped working for the cause6

KAVANAGH: Provided a solid base for Francis to get forward, and protected back four well7

FRANCIS: In exactly the right place to snap up his first goal for the club, a reward for his industry8

McCULLOCH: Like Bullard, simply ensured the team had some shape and the full back some protection6

CAMARA: A lively box of tricks whose pace had Everton's lumbering defence tottering on their heels at times8

ROBERTS: Provided the power as a foil to Camara's pace7
