Play by play
- 92'
<b>FULL TIME</b> - well, that was a procession for Liverpool once they got into a 2-0 lead after just 18 minutes. Suarez was excellent, so were his team mates and they run out comfortable winners.
- 91'
McCarthy smashes a half volley high and wide of the goal. Struck with power though.
- 90'
Two minutes added. Unnecessary.
- 89'
McManaman wins a corner for Wigan.
- 88'
Fine block from McCarthy as Henderson nods from close range. Good stop. Agger won the initial header.
- 87'
So, Liverpool reclaim seventh. Wigan stay 17th and their goal difference takes a hit.
- 86'
Enrique wriggles away from a few tackles and tries to slip Downing through. Wigan block and clear.
- 85'
Nasty tackle from Espinoza - lucky not to get a card.
- 83'
Keep ball from Liverpool. Death by passing.
- 82'
Allen nearly grabs a fifth but Alcaraz's last ditch tackle prevents him.
- 80'
Gerrard tries an ambitious volley but blasts it over the bar. Well, why not?
- 78'
Another important Reina save as McManaman beats Enrique, it falls to Maloney who fires it in from a narrow angle and the keeper pushes it onto Kone and wins a goal kick.
- 77'
This is pretty humiliating making Wigan play this last portion of the game. They need a bath, a massage and some counselling.

- 74'
Roberto Martinez is still barking instructions at his team from the technical area. Fair play. I'd be in the bar by now.
- 73'
Liverpool break into a chant of "Rafa Benitez..."
- 72'

- 70'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Henderson replaces the excellent Coutinho.
- 68'
Henderson about to come on.
- 67'
Excellent clearing header from Carragher as Maloney crosses then as Wigan reinsert the ball Reina makes another good instinctive save.
- 66'
Lucas should be careful - he clatters Maloney and is on a yellow card.
- 65'
Suarez chases down Alcaraz and tries to win a corner. The Liverpool fans liked that.
- 64'
They really should do Wigan a favour and blow the final whistle now.
- 62'
Not that I'm suggesting there should have been. The home fans are utterly miserable.
- 61'
