Tim Cahill once again proved that he is the man can count on Everton as he spoke of a victory to keep the vision of European football David Moyes "a distinct possibility.
Australia has characteristics indicative of a hard character, Moyes has instilled in his team in his tenure at Goodison Park.
Ravaged by injuries earlier this season, Everton held until earlier this year with a makeshift team.
But do not blame and excuses, when the results do not go their way. Moyes was silent and still stand by what appeared to be an ominous task.
In fact, when you have a player like Cahill in your ranks, it lends itself to an air of optimism, when circumstances seem bleak.
For the period of time yesterday, it seemed that the resurgence of Everton, who had been winning games back-to-back "against Manchester City and Sunderland, missing.
But Cahill grew bidders in the 83rd minute strike in a header from a corner of Leighton Baines to get another three important points.
Moyes has challenged his side to European qualification win again this term, but should improve if the poor quality screen with guts.
An air of despondency will remain in the Wigan dressing room after scoring chances they missed.
But the loss to feel the pain more acute than Charles N'Zogbia's shot fell to the bar to die in a few seconds.
Hugo Rodallega and Jason Scotland to wake up this morning, knowing that it must be changed at least one of the possibilities that have been created.
Leon Osman had a chance, but it was Wigan duo, who had a better chance.
Scotland played with Rodallega that are left to touch, but his weak shot was easily saved by a humble Tim Howard.
Scotland broke his duck for his new club last week in the FA Cup against last week against Notts County, but he is still waiting for their first home.
Visible lack of confidence, Martinez will need all his managerial skills to convince the man to score the goal that forms the basis of their time together at Swansea.
Two possibilities, the other the opportunity to Rodallega who ran more than a burning, and the second after escaping from a pair of challenges on the edge of the box before firing again, were systematically man who does not trust.
Louis Saha is always going to fancy his chances to showcase his 100-goal league against a defense that had conceded 46 this season.
His deflected shot, which sped away from the spot and his header flick Baines "in which the cross, which was annulled by the goalkeeper Vladimir Stojkovic Wigan, Wigan inserted actions.
Everton have a penalty on the half hour when Saha was brought down in the area but referee Lee Probert could not detect the fault.
Moyes must have feared his team winning streak stopped, but Cahill's air capacity has become paramount chief of Everton's third successive victory.
