Wigan registered their first ever win at Anfield following a 2-1 success over Liverpool which boosts their chances of avoiding relegation. For Liverpool and their stunned boss Kenny Dalglish this was the Reds fifth defeat in their last six league games and overall the Latics deserved their victory.
A miserable first half for the home side saw Wigan take the lead from the penalty spot following an unfair challenge on Victor Moses by Martin Skrtel. Shaun Maloney finished confidently from 12 yards.
Luisa Suarez, who was Liverpool's best player, gave the host's a platform on which to build when he levelled just after half-time collecting a Steven Gerrard pass to finish clinically.
The Uruguayan then had a goal disallowed for handball before defender Gary Caldwell stunned the home crowd with a neat finish after collecting a loose ball inside the penalty area.
Wigan then clung on and survived seven minutes of added time for only their second league win in 15 games.
