Distin makes Everton debut

New defender Sylvain Distin made his Everton debut against Wigan at Goodison Park while another new signing, Russia winger Diniyar Bilyaletdinov, was on the bench.

The Toffees made just one change from the side that lost their last Barclays Premier League game at Burnley last weekend, with Marouane Fellaini dropped to the bench to accommodate Distin. Phil Neville reverted to a midfield role.
