Wigan Athletic Vs Everton: Camara stars in 1-0 win for Lactics

November 25, 2008

Henri Camara gave Wigan Athletic something to cheer about, as he scored his first goal in two years and took his side out of the relegation zone with a 1-0 victory over Everton at the JJB Stadium.

Senegal International came as a substitute for Olivier Kapo and took just 6 minutes to rifle a low shot past Everton Keeper Tim Howard following a wonderful piece of skill from midfielder Antonio Valencia.

This goal was enough to give only the second home win for Steve Bruce’s side after they registered a 2-1 win over Manchester City almost couple of months ago.

Moreover, this win was a perfect fillip to Bruce following their recent results were raising fears of Wigan getting dragged into dogfight of the relegation zone.

Still, we are far from seeing the Latics out of trouble. However, this thoroughly deserving victory, where Lee Cattermole was exceptional, showed delight on the face of Wigan Boss. At the final whistle, the pleasure of scoring the goal was clearly visible Camara’s face.

31-year old forward was on loan West Ham United and failed to score a single goal on what was a horrible campaign.

Camara made a return to the JJB Stadium earlier this summer and after scoring thrice in the Carling Cup, finally hit the net in a top flight game for the first time since scoring for Wigan against Middlesbrough in December 2006.

Meanwhile, Everton made a short trip to JJB Stadium with an unbeaten streak in 5 games. However, following a bright start, faded badly.

This defeat for Everton meant that none of the top side’s in the league was able to register a victory in this week.
