The 2011 Copa America player of the tournament and Uruguayan attacker,Luis Suarez scored a brace in Liverpool's 3-0 win over Wigan Athletic at Anfield.
Brendan Rodgers' men are now unbeaten in their last six premier league games. The two sides played a goalless draw in the first half. Pepe Reina returned to the Reds starting line up after a lengthy injury lay off. Martin Skrtel replaced Jamie Carragher in the central defence, while Suso replaced Nuri Sahin who played against Chelsea last weekend.
Aroune Kone and Franco Di Santo led the attack for Wigan Athletic. Jose Enrique and Daniel Agger went close to giving Liverpool the lead in the first half, but their efforts weren't good enough to beat Al-Habsi. Daniel Agger nodded Gerrard's corner over the bar and Enrique dragged his shot wide within the penalty area.
Second Half
Beausejour lost the ball in the midfield and Raheem Sterling stole the show. The 17 year old England international raced down the flank and beat Figueroa before passing the ball to Suarez for the first goal of the day. Jose Enrique provided the assist for Liverpool's second goal. The Spanish left back delivered a perfect cross that was met by 'el Pistolero'. Suarez pounced on the ball and slammed it pass Al-Habsi to make it 2-0.
Sterling fired a shot towards the Wigan goal in the 65th minute, but the keeper palmed his shot and Enrique fired in the third goal for the Reds. Jordan Henderson ballooned the ball over the ball in the 70th minute while Glen Johnson's last minute effort went agonizingly wide off the post.
The Reds have now moved up to 11th on the league table while Suarez is the top scorer in the EPL with 10 goals.
