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 .
