ROYSTON Drenthe helped Everton secure a vital three points against Wigan with an injury time goal, as the Blues ran out 3-1 winners at Goodison.
The Dutch loan signing netted after a headed knock-down from fellow new-boy Denis Straqualursi to apply the gloss to a cagey overall performance.
Teenage striker Apostolos Vellios had already come from the bench in the second half to edge the Blues ahead with his first goal in a royal blue shirt.
The Greek 19-year-old had almost snatched a last-minute victory against Aston Villa last weekend, but was not to be denied again when he leapt highest to convert a Tony Hibbert cross in the 83rd minute
The Blues were good value for the win in the end, although they found it tough going at times against a motivated and resilient visiting side who gave them more than a few scares.
