Liverpool 3-0 Wigan

Luis Suarez continued his rich vein of
form with two goals to help Liverpool
to a 3-0 win over Wigan at Anfield.
The Uruguayan took his tally for the
season to 13 goals with two second-
half strikes with the impressive Jose
Enrique netting the third with his first
goal for the club.
The victory was well deserved for the
home side after a dour first half with
Wigan struggling to pose only
problems to the returning Pepe Reina
in the Liverpool goal.
The win is only Liverpool's second
home success of the season in the
Premier League to lift them up to 11th
spot in the table.
In a quiet start to the game Liverpool
had to wait until 23 minutes to create
their first noteworthy effort as Suso let
fly from the edge of the box and Al
Habsi could only palm out his powerful
shot.
The little Spaniard missed the best
opening of the half on 32 minutes as
Glen Johnson got to the byline and
pulled a cross back for Suso who
headed his effort over the crossbar
from six yards out.
Both sides made changes to their
midfield just past the half hour mark
with David Jones replacing the injured
Ben Watson following a collision with
Raheem Sterling, while Brendan
Rodgers appeared to make a tactical
change by taking off Suso for Jordan
Henderson.
Just before the break Al Habsi was
forced into a smart save as Enrique
tried to get onto Suarez's drilled cross
across the six-yard box.
Whatever Rodgers said at half-time
seemed to work as Liverpool broke the
deadlock two minutes into the second
half through Suarez.
Sterling capitalised on a poor pass
from Jean Beausejour to round
Maynor Figueroa and the England
international picked out Suarez who
fired his shot high into the net past Al
Habsi.
Suarez made it 2-0 on 58 minutes
when Enrique slipped him in on goal
with a superb pass and the deadly
striker poked his shot past Al Habsi.
Liverpool made it 3-0 on 65 minutes
with Enrique grabbing a deserved goal
for his afternoon's work, but there was
some controversy in the build-up.
Wigan felt they should have had a
throw-in when Ivan Ramis's pass
appeared to be deflected into touch by
Suarez, but the home side were
awarded the throw and from it Sterling
got in on goal and saw his powerful
shot palmed out into the path of the
grateful Enrique to snaffle up the
rebound.
Liverpool missed further chances to
add to their lead in the remaining
minutes as they enjoyed their best day
of the season at Anfield against a
below-par Wigan.
