Wigan Athletic 1 Everton 0:Henri Camara's strike cost Everton a place in the top six of the Barclays Premier League and moved Wigan Athletic out of the drop zone with their fourth win of the season.
Tim Cahill had the chance to equalise in the 92nd minute but the Australian thumped his effort over the bar.
Camara's first league goal in almost two years came in the 51st when, after he had replaced the ineffective Olivier Kapo at half-time, he latched on to a low cross from Antonio Valencia and finished from five yards out.
It proved enough to give Steve Bruce's men only their second home league win of the season and their first since beating Manchester City 2-1 almost two months ago.
Wigan could have made the game safe in the 71st minute when Valencia broke clear and hit a powerful shot from 14 yards which Howard could only parry.
Three minutes later, Cahill attempted to tuck away a loose ball from 14 yards but Scharner blocked his effort and Wigan held on for a richly-deserved success.
