Chief pest to the Liverpool defence was N'Zogbia, who after almost releasing Rodallega with a clever reverse pass, flashed a couple of dangerous crosses across the Liverpool defence.

Despite being almost totally outplayed, Wigan did occasionally string a move together that ensured the United defence was not completely redundant, and Charles N'Zogbia missed a great chance to reduce the deficit when Won-Hee Cho's pass set him free in the box only for the winger to drift his shot wide, while Hugo Rodallega headed straight at Tomasz Kuszczak from six yards out.

Despite the Stoke fans making more noise than their counterparts, Wigan made the brighter start, with Rodallega and Charles N'Zogbia stretching the visitors' defence.
