Wigan picked up a suprising win to boost their survival hopes, also this result heats presure onto reds boss Kenny Dalglish.
The game started in a open fashion with both teams playing quite well however wigan where having much more of the ball and where growing into the game a noisy away following was cheering them on at anfield.
Then on the half hour mark Martin Skertal concedes a penalty when he denies Victor moses a clear goalscoring opportunity when he kicks moses in the head to see a penalty given whitch Shaun Maloney converts to give Wigan a much deserved lead at a sunny and quiet Anfield.
Liverpool started the second half brightly and the reds got their reward when Luis Suarez finished off a Steven Gerrard pass.
But the latics didnt give up Ben Watson was brought on in place of Jean Beausejour and that sparked something into latics and they took the lead as captin Gary Caldwell cooly finished to put wigan on course for a vital victory. the latics where bossing the match they where looking the most likely.
With ten minuets left liverpool brought on raheem sterling for his first apperance in a liverpool shirt but it wss wigans substitute Conor Sammon who came nearest to scoring his effort was blocked.
Five minuets where added on at the end but despite pilling on the pressure liverpool didnt find the net wigan held on for a huge victory in their season .

Player of the month
In the world cup before the 2010/11 season torres was in a winning spanish side but never really showed his potential and later scans showed that the striker whos nickname is el nino was playing with a hamstring injury that may have been to blame for the following season but not this season where he has been completly injury free.
Swansea make the long journey to bottom side wigan in a game whitch is likely to have lots and lots of passes in it!
However for wigan its more that just a game its a have to win game a crowd of around 20,000 is expected to be their cheering them on so the support will be thier for the latics who have been on a mini revival of late with two home draws and a impressive 2-1 win at local rivals and fellow strugglers Bolton also the latics are looking to build on a positive performance against Aston Villa a week ago.
