Anichebe and Moses scores for the winning side in the EPL

Nigeria forwards Victor Moses and Victor Anichebe were heroes for their clubs after sealing identical 2:0 wins in the English Premier League on Saturday. Moses ensured all three points against Stoke City when he rounded goalkeeper Asmir Begovic in stoppage time to slot home his fourth goal of the season and give his club hopes of surviving relegation. Wigan are second from bottom and still have much work to do to stay in the top-flight, but they are within touching distance of a clutch of teams immediately above of them. Anichebe also grabbed his fourth goal of the season to help Everton to a win against West Brom. Playing just his ninth league game of the campaign, he hammered his effort in off the post on 68 minutes, following good work from South Africa midfielder Steven Pienaar. The striker had been on the field just six minutes before making his presence felt. Also on target in England today were Morocco and Mali midfielders Adel Taarabt and Samba Diakite. Both scored for Queens Park Rangers in a 2:1 win over visitors Arsenal. Taarabt netted what was his first goal of the season on 22 minutes when he shot into the bottom corner from the edge of the penalty area, while Diakite, 23, dispatched a cutback from Jamie Mackie for the vital winner for QPR in the 66th minute. It was also the first goal by the Mali midfielder since he joined QPR on loan from Nancy after the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations.
