Dan Agger admitted some relief after Liverpool's dramatic victory over Wigan.

The Dane was at fault for Amr Zaki's first goal and told liverpoolfc.tv: "I was pleased to start the game against Wigan, it was what I have been waiting for.

"It was a stupid mistake to make for their first goal, but that's football and you can't afford to dwell on things like that - you have to carry on.

"Luckily enough we managed to go on and win the game 3-2 and obviously I am very happy about that.

"It was a misunderstanding and I didn't hear anything but it was my mistake and I can't say anything more about it.

"Today was tough for me. It was really, really hard.

"Of course, it is a long time since I last played so I have to get used to it again and then I will improve."
